Freemasonry is considered to be a secret society, beleaguered by misconceptions, bias and ignorance.
Countering these misconceptions is an important task requiring critical thinking and open-mindedness. It is crucial to address and challenge these misconceptions in order to foster a more inclusive and informed society about what Freemasonry really is.
As members we are regularly called upon to respond to questions and misconceptions about the Order. Are we able to respond to some of the common topics raised? One thing we must never do, is make up an answer. Rather admit that you don’t know and promise to come back when you do. Honesty is one of the key attributes which Freemasons profess to uphold.
