  • Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder to the Historian, Fact Must Precede Inference and Opinion
    33 Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder To the historian, fact must precede inference and opinion. In reading historical works of Queensland, the author has often noted incorrect statements and omissions about the Masonic ranks and details of the men who are the subject of this paper. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to provide a concise document outlining the history, structure and, more importantly, the people who have led Freemasonry in Queensland from 1859 untU the present. It is not without a feeling of deja-vu, that on reading a recent paper (Biskup, 1988) in this Journal, that the names of Sir Arthur Morgan, J.F.G. Foxton, John Oxley, WUUam Jolly and Sir Leslie WUson aU appeared — and all are instantly recognisable to a Masonic historian as Freemasons. Whilst a lot of detail covered in this paper is available in Richards (1959), that work is scanty on detail of Scottish Freemasonry, as the relevant records were missing at the time of Richards' compUation. Irish and EngUsh Freemasomy in Queensland have been well documented in Harley (c.l930) and Fowles and White (1909) respectively. Freemasonry may be simply described as a fraternal association of men, based on the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Membership in Australia is open to all men who profess a belief in a Supreme Being and are of good character. Contrary to a popular urban myth, and on the basis of the above definition, the association is not anti-Catholic. However, the existence of atheist forms of Freemasonry in Europe provoked the hostility of the Roman Catholic Church from 1738.

  • Freemasonry from England to The
    R.W. Douglas L. Jordan, K.Y.C.H., K.C.C.H., O.P.C. Past District Deputy Grand Master Past Grand High Priest Grand Governor for Virginia, YRSC of NA I . Where did Masonry start? Without a doubt, Masonry has existed from the time when "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" - that is from "time immemorial." Some Masonic writers in the late 190' Century claimed Noah as our founder. Those of us who have had the pleasure of witnessing Springfield Lodge's presentation on Cleopatra's Needle are aware of the very Masonic symbols that were found under the base of an Egyptian obelisk that was erected about 1500 B.C. John Robinson in Born in Blood provides much evidence that we owe our lodges to the Knights Templar who needed a cover following their suppression by the Catholic Church in 1307. The most generally accepted view, points to the guilds of freemasons. Operative masons have always been involved in the building of temples and other monuments from antiquity to the present day. Written evidence indicates that sometime before 926 AD masons had formed guilds or lodges but appear to have had some problems in their government. The Regius Poem or Halliwell Manuscript, which dates from 1390, tells how Athelstan, King of All England, called an Assembly at York in 926 to consider the government of the Master Masons and Craftsmen. At this assembly, fifteen Articles were adopted for the government of the Master Mason. These Articles include that: The Master must be steadfast, trusty and true.

  • What Is Scottish Freemasonry?
    What is Scottish Freemasonry? It is not clear exactly when Freemasonry began but it is widely accepted to have originated from the stonemason trade guilds of the Middle Ages, referred to as Incorporated Trades or Crafts. The term incorporated comes from the fact that these various craft organisations held Royal charters, or ‘Seals of Cause’ which allowed them to work exclusively within the Royal Burghs in the Middle Ages. The language and symbols used in Freemasonic rituals today come from these older craft bodies. The earliest use of the term Freemason dates from around 1390 but referred purely to operative members. The earliest Freemasonic Grand Lodge which was totally symbolic in its practices and not operative at all was formed in 1717 on St John’s Day, 24th June in London. Prior to the formalisation of Freemasonry as we know it however, Scotland was already beginning to see a shift during the 17th century where more and more non- operative members were joining the old trade institutions. Throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries in particular the fraternity expanded across Europe, the Americas and today you will find lodges globally. The Grand Lodge of Scotland describes A stone mason at work from a drawing of 1457. their organisation in this way: ‘Freemasonry is a society of men concerned with moral and Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for spiritual values. Its members are taught its precepts by a religion. The one essential qualification means that series of ritual dramas, which follow ancient forms, and use Freemasonry is open to men of many religions and it stonemasons’ customs and tools as allegorical guides.
