History of Freemasonry

The history of Freemasonry encompasses the origins, evolution and defining events of the fraternal organisation known as Freemasonry. It covers three phases. Firstly, the emergence of organised lodges of operative masons during the Middle Ages, then the admission of lay members as "accepted" or speculative masons, and finally the evolution of purely speculative lodges, and the emergence of Grand Lodges to govern them. The watershed in this process is generally taken to be the formation of the first Grand Lodge in London in 1717. The two difficulties facing historians are the paucity of written material, even down to the 19th century, and the misinformation generated by masons and non-masons alike from the earliest years.

This app describes the organizational structure of the fraternity. It's a nice read, but not well developed as far as applications go.

Good, went through in about 20 minutes and then deleted it. Good general info. I would introduce the Asian part of Freemasonry which is interesting too.

As a Master Mason of the 22nd Degree,it's close to our secret documents and doctrines. Whomever wrote and put this out for all to know must have bern Black Balled or Exiled from his Lodge or never Crossed oever in his 3 Degrees and is now an Evesdropper.
