New! A Simple Guide to Freemasonry
How did you first learn about Freemasonry? Was it by entering a lodge hall and meeting with the members? Attending a community event? From a film or television show?
Probably not!
According to research, the most common way that current members were introduced to the organization was through a personal connection, such as a relative or colleague. In other words, not via the Internet. That is why it is critical that current members feel comfortable discussing Freemasonry with those around them and that those seeking more information are given straightforward and accurate answers.
To that end, this brief booklet is intended to assist current members in answering some of the most frequently asked—but often confusing—questions about Freemasonry. Download and read this guide to brush up on the fundamentals. Also, share it with those around you who want to learn more.
Don’t worry about memorizing the answers. The most effective thing you can do is to share your personal experiences. Consider this a tool that will help you get started. As members, you are encouraged to share your Masonic experiences with those around you. It’s how the tradition spreads from one person to the next.
This guide is also available in both English and Spanish from LAFSCO.
