That’s not a surprising question. Even though Masons (Freemasons) are members of the largest and oldest fraternity in the world, and even though almost everyone has a father or grandfather or uncle who was a Mason, many people aren’t quite certain just who Masons are.
The answer is simple. A Mason is a member of a fraternity known as Masonry . A fraternity is a group of men who join together because:
* There are things they want to do in the world.
* There are things they want to do “inside their own minds.”
* They enjoy being together with men they like and respect.
