Welcome to the Birmingham Scottish Rite Website.  Here you will find information on Freemasonry as well as Birmingham Scottish Rite information.

Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. Its singular purpose is to make good men better. Our fraternity's history and tradition date to antiquity, and its bonds of friendship, compassion and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military and religious conflicts through the centuries. 
     Many of our nation's founders were Freemasons, including thirteen signers of the United States Constitution. Fourteen Presidents of the United States, beginning with George Washington, were Freemasons. Today, there are more than four million Freemasons around the world from virtually every walk of life. Within our Fraternity our members meet as equals.   
    Every Freemason must profess a belief in Deity, but Freemasonry is not a religion and is not a forum for religious worship. Our members represent diverse religious beliefs, but they are at one in their belief in religious and political freedom.     
     Freemasonry is proud of its tradition of "making good men better." We are men of charity and good works who remain unchallenged as the world's greatest philanthropic organization.    
     Freemasons in the United States contribute more than one million dollars every day to charitable causes which they alone have established. These services to mankind demonstrate the humanitarian commitment of our unique and honorable Fraternity. 
     Anyone seeking to join our Fraternity need only ask a Mason for a petition to join. Members of the Lodge vote by secret ballot. To be accepted, the ballot must be unanimous.

Description of Freemasonry...
 
The Masonic order is best defined; "As a system of morality based on allegory and illustrated by symbols.
Taking delight in its secrecy and ritual and finding comfort in the brotherhood of an ancient order. The rituals of Freemasonry and the Scottish Rite are elaborate, the trappings are ornate with men believing in helping each other as brothers and learning the fundamental truths, the observance of which tend to promote stability of character, conservatism, and good citizenship".  We are the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
