W. Bro. Dean Hankins Master 2025-2026
A Freemason from his First Day..
We all know from the very first day that we become a Freemason, it is confusing and an unusual experience. The Province of East Lancashire has created a very informative document that clearly explains many aspects and addresses the speculation often attributed to Freemasonry. While this comprehensive document is 35 pages in length it is, without doubt, an excellent read. I would like to thank W Bro Graeme Hunt for bringing it to my attention.
What it means to be a Freemason..
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry means different things to each who chooses to join. For some, it’s about making new friends. For others, it’s about being able to help deserving causes by making a contribution to family and society. But for most, it is an enjoyable hobby.
Freemasonry is one of the oldest and largest non-religious, non-political, fraternal, and charitable organizations. It teaches self-knowledge via participation in a series of progressive ceremonies. Members are expected to be of high moral standing and are encouraged to speak openly about their being a Freemason.
Why do people become Freemasons?
People became Freemasons for different reasons, often it is as a result of family members being Masons, many more upon the introduction of a friend. Those who become active members and who advance in Freemasonry do so because they enjoy it. They enjoy the challenge and companionship that Freemasonry offers.
