The Church and Freemasonry (Pamphlet)

This pamphlet provides general information on the relationship between religion, the church, and Freemasonry which is appropriate for all audiences.  It relays that Freemasonry is not a secret society, rather it is a society with secrets and these cover only a few matters of ritual and modes of recognition and emphasizes the Fraternity has never sought to defend itself or to become involved in any controversy with the church or any religious group. It has let its deeds and the lives of its members speak for it. The leaders of Freemasonry and its membership generally recognize that there is no conflict between Freemasonry and the church. Both are basic institutions and each has a part to play in the great work of advancing the good of mankind.
