THE GRAND LODGE OF TENNESSEE

MAKING GOOD MEN BETTER
The mission of Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like minded men in a worldwide brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth: and, by the outward expression of these, through its fellowship, its compassion and its concern, to find ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbors and self.

Unlike the members of other fraternal organizations, Masons are forbidden to solicit anyone to become a member.

One theory is that the organization was developed by the ancient stone masons. Another is that it originated with the Knights Templar.
