Freemasonry
- is an ancient and respectable institution, embracing individuals of every nation, of every faith and every condition of life.
- can be defined as a benevolent, charitable, educational and ethical society.
- strives to teach every moral and social virtue and exhorts its membership to practise the universal principles of brotherly love, relief and truth.
Freemasonry is a worldwide organisation comprising men of goodwill from across the whole spectrum of race, nationality, religion and politics. The teachings of Freemasonry are comprehended in the three great virtues of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth. At the same time, our members hold dear their citizenship of their country and the responsibilities which this attachment implies.
Service to the community has thus been a hallmark of Freemasonry over many generations and continues to motivate us both corporately and as individuals.
It is not Freemasonry, but the individual Mason, instilled with the principles and tenets of the Craft, who has a positive influence on society.
Reconciliation
A work for harpsichord, didgeridoo and Australian bush sounds symbolising the reconciliation of two cultures was performed at City of London Festival in 2001 with the support of the Lodge of the Golden Fleece. Composed by Ron Nagorcka, This Beauteous Wicked Place has been recorded. Listen to a sample mp3. Details of this performance.
The Centre for Research into Freemasonry
Professor Andrew Prescott, formerly curator in the Manuscripts Department of the British Library, was founding director of this academic research unit which is supported by the United Grand Lodge of England. The centre aims to undertake and promote scholarly research into the historical, social and cultural impact of Freemasonry.
Royal Artillery Band
In 1762 the Royal Artillery Band was formed in Germany moving to Woolwich the following year where it has been in residence ever since. It is a State Band, the only Army band able to support a full orchestra and as such is the oldest orchestra in England - military or civilian.
