In Memoriam
Brother Calvin John Smitley
Initiated: December 15, 1982
Died: August 16, 2024
I Am A Freemason
Being neither a Christian nor a Jew, a Muslim or Hindu, being a Democrat nor a Republican, being Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, nor Indian, being rich nor poor, has anything to do with me amongst my brethren behind this door.
Only my trust in God, the faith in my Brothers, and the charity given to mankind as a result of my actions matter in this place.
Charles M. Harper Sr.
History
Some historians trace Freemasonry to the Tenth Century, B.C., during the building of King Solomon’s Temple. Records reveal that Freemasonry was introduced into England in 926 A.D. Freemasonry is directly descended from the association of operative masons, the cathedral builders of the Middle Ages, who traveled through Europe employing the secrets and skills of their craft. In the 17th Century, when cathedral building was on the decline, many guilds of stonemasons, known as “Operative Masons” or “Free Masons”, started to accept as members those who were not members of the masons craft, calling them “Speculative Masons” or “Accepted Masons”. It was from these groups, comprised mostly of “Adopted or Accepted Masons”, that Symbolic Masonry or Freemasonry, as we know it today, had its beginning.
