2B1 ASK 1
To be A Mason You
Must Ask A Mason
All you need do is to Ask.
For a Fraternity steeped in over four hundred years of tradition,
you might think it is difficult to become a Mason.
It is. There is one major hurdle each candidate must pass.
They must ask.
Freemasonry accepts no one for membership unless they come
of their own free will and accord, having already obtained a
favorable
impression of our Fraternity.
There are few other requirements. You must:
1 - Be a man, over the age of twenty-one.
2 - Believe in a Supreme Being.
3 - Live an ethical and moral life.
4 - Have a strong interest in the Fraternity and desire to
participate in its
charities and its activities.
We believe that men are first made Masons in their hearts, then they
ask
to join our Fraternity.
Freemasonry will take these men, good men in their communities,
and
help them become better men.
Each man brings something different into the Fraternity, as
different as the types
of men that become Masons. But each shares a common core of beliefs
and of dreams;
each believes that, in a small way, by their actions they help make
their world,
their communities, and themselves better.
