PROGRESSIVE MASONRY
Freemasonry is a secular fraternal association that has evolved worldwide, particularly over the last three centuries. In England and Wales, entry and progression by a series of three degrees is now via Lodges that are grouped into Provinces and administered by the United Grand Lodge of England and Wales (UGLE), which is also responsible for Districts and Lodges overseas. Its precepts promote moral values and self-knowledge and are embodied in allegorical rituals, typically related to the ancient craft of stonemasonry and its tools.
As the craft degrees have evolved, other independent Orders with their particular rituals have also developped. Every one of our special Orders offers a unique experience to members. They all share a common bond - offering you an excellent opportunity to make an advance in your knowledge of Freemasonry, explore new challenges, and build on existing friendships.
