Freemasonry and Religion

Our purpose as Freemasons is not that of a religion.

Freemasonry lacks the basic elements of religion.

Freemasonry is not a religion nor is it a substitute for religion.

Freemasonry advocates no sectarian faith or practise.

We seek no converts.

We solicit no new members.

We raise no money for religious purposes.

We have no dogma or theology. Religious discussion is forbidden in a
Masonic lodge thereby eliminating the chance for any Masonic dogma to
form.

It offers no sacraments and does not claim to lead to salvation by
works, by secret knowledge, or by any other means. The secrets of
Freemasonry are concerned with the modes of recognition only and not with
the means of salvation.

By any definition of religion accepted by our critics, we cannot qualify
as a religion.

Freemasonry supports religion. Freemasonry is far from indifferent to
religion. Without interfering in religious practice, it expects each
member to follow his own faith.

A man does not subscribe to a new religion, much less to an
anti-Christian religion when he becomes a Freemason, any more than when he
joins any political party or the YMCA. There is nothing in Freemasonry
that is opposed to the religion he brings with him into the Masonic lodge.
Freemasonry does not assert nor does it teach that one religion is as good
as another. Freemasonry admits men of all religions.

Freemasons believe in religious freedom and that the relationship
between the individual and his God is personal, private and sacred.

We do not apply a theological test to a candidate. We do ask a man if
he believes in God and that is the only religious test. Belief in God is
faith; belief about God is theology. As Freemasons we are interested in
faith only and not in theology. Religion is not permitted to be discussed
at Masonic meetings.

Freemasonry is a completely tolerant organization. When Freemasonry
accepts a Christian, or a Jew, or a Buddhist, or a Mohammedan, it does not
accept him as such, but accepts him as a man, worthy to be received into
the Masonic fraternity.

Freemasonry stands for the values that are supreme in the life of the
church and expects each member to follow his own faith and to place his
duty to God above all other duties. We are sure that a member who is true
to the principles he learns in Freemasonry will be a better church member
because of it.

Last August 17, 2008 WB Butch of 69 professionally presented the creation of cooperative as mandated by the Grand Lodge. The following issues were left open and to be decided on the next district meeting:

1. NAME OF THE COOPERATIVE. It is advised that the name must not contain any reference to a Masonic signs, names or symbols, in order to protect the fraternity if something uncalled for happens in the future. The following names, however were suggested:
a. Free Cavite Multipurpose Cooperative
b. Cavite IV-A Multipurpose Cooperative (violates the suggestion)
c. Tylers of Cavite Multipurpose Cooperative (violates the suggestion)
d. Cavite Travellers Multipurpose Cooperative (also violates)
e. Trowel Multipurpose Cooperative (violates too)
f. SUBJECT TO CHANCE MULTIPURPOSE COOPERATIVE (just for laughs, this was really suggested)

2. We also have to vote in the PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. Suggested were Primera Luz and Trece Martirez.

All suggestions are welcome.

As approved, the District Meeting will now start PROMPTLY AT 2PM. There will be no more waiting for latecomers. Quorum shall be waived upon motion and the meeting will start even if there will be only 2 in attendance. All latecomers will have to suffer the consequences of their bad habit of forgetting the virtue of punctuality.

Mga kapatid, Linggo ito, may karapatan din ang ating pamilya na makasalo tayo ng hapunan man lang. Ang Pinoy talaga o.

It was also pronounce during that meeting that PL Filipina will host the 2009 Discon.

NEXT MEETING WILL BE AT MT. MAINAM 49
