Emeth was founded in Early 2008. It was founded under the auspices of the Grand Orient of the United States, under patent from the Grand Orient de France.
In mid 2009 Emeth left the Grand Orient of the United States and became a "blue sky", or "open sky" lodge..
Emeth lodge practices as a male obedience "red" lodge for the first three degrees of the craft under the Ancient and Accepted Scotish Rite. Our lodge is focussed soley on masonic education and fraternity among it's members. We leave the work of charity to the individual members of the lodge. Emeth is currently a member of the Association of Independent Masonic Lodges. We welcome masons from all disciplines through our West gate, be they male or female.
What is freemasonry?
Wiki describes freemasonry as follows: While Freemasonry has often been called a "secret society", Freemasons themselves argue that it is more correct to say that it is an esoteric society, in that certain aspects are private.[21] The most common phrasing being that Freemasonry has, in the 21st century, become less a secret society and more of a "society with secrets".[24] The private aspects of modern Freemasonry are the modes of recognition amongst members and particular elements within the ritual.[25] Despite the organisation's great diversity, Freemasonry's central preoccupations remain charitable work within a local or wider community, moral uprightness (in most cases requiring a belief in a Supreme Being) as well as the development and maintenance of fraternal friendship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry
I suppose that definition is as good as any. Freemasonry is a persuit, not an end goal. It is rather hard to explain as it is the development of a mindset, a way of thinking. Imagine a path, or road, that would span your entire life to walk down...that is freemasonry.
