This is the "official" page for Pyramid Lodge #451. Operated by #451 Officers. Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest fraternal organizations.
Freemasons are concerned with moral and spiritual values. They are taught its precepts by a series of ritual dramas, which follow ancient forms and the use of stonemason's customs and tools as allegorical guides. The essential qualification for admission is a belief in a Supreme Being. Freemasonry is open to adult men of any race or religion who can fulfill this essential qualification and are wel
l recommended. Although it has a religious basis, Freemasonry is neither a religion in itself nor is it a substitute for religion. It expects its members to follow their own faith. Freemasonry has no theology or dogma and by forbidding the discussion of religion at its meetings prevents the development of any dogma. Nor is there a separate Masonic god. The use of honorifics, such as the Great Architect, is simply to enable men of different faiths to meet together, offer prayers and address their God without differences of religion obtruding. A Freemason is taught that his prime duties are to his God, to the laws of his country and to his family. Any attempt to use his membership to promote his own or anyone else's business, professional or personal interests, or any attempt to shield a Freemason who has acted dishonorably or unlawfully is contrary to the conditions of membership. By following the three Great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth a Freemason hopes to show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others; to practice charity within the community as a whole both by charitable giving and voluntary efforts; and to strive to attain truth and high moral standards in his own life.
