Freemasonry the Fraternal Order and Its Principles
Freemasonry is a voluntary nationwide fraternity of men bound by morality in public and private life. It promotes education, self improvement, patriotism, equal rights, and philanthropy while denoting its core tenets of brotherly love relief and truth. It is not a charity or secret society, though it aids members in hardship and conducts philanthropic work through local projects and blue lodge degrees. Shriners, as an appendage, run numerous hospitals funded by per capita taxes and collective efforts.
