We strengthen and improve our character by learning and practicing basic virtues of fraternal love, charity, and truth. Our principles extend far beyond our interactions with each other, and we strive to apply them to our daily lives. All who join Freemasonry must declare their belief in the existence of a Supreme Being, and practice their own personal faith, but the fraternity is neither a religion nor a place to worship. Rather, it is a place where men of all monotheistic creeds can meet and focus on the great truths of peaceful human interaction that are common to all religions. 7 7 6 0 0 0 405782 458009 144579 180300 791 448 140211 132634 691363 771391 22500 15300 79200 66000 235782 241415 0 0 0 530321 510347 867803 833062 -176440 -61671 423994 415444 66967 10 357027 415434 Freemasonry is a fraternity of brothers who share one common goal: to help each other become better men.
