Welcome to the official Website of The District Grand Lodge Eastern Division - South Africa Freemasonry is the oldest and largest world wide fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of a Supreme Being. Although of a religious nature, Freemasonry is not a religion. It urges its members, however, to be faithful and devoted to their own religious beliefs. In our District the governing body is called the District Grand Lodge, Eastern Division, South Africa. It is one of four districts in South Africa which are part of the English Constitution, which in turn, fall under the United Grand Lodge of England, based in London. It is under the leadership of the District Grand Master. He presides over the 350 Masons who belong to one or more of the 29 lodges in our jurisdiction. Each of these lodges is under the direction of a Worshipful Master. Any man who becomes a Mason is taught a pattern for living; reverence - morality - kindness- honesty - dependability and compassion. He must be prepared to honour his country, uphold its laws and respect those in authority. He must be prepared to maintain honourable relations with others and be willing to share in Masonic activities. Freemasonry is a way of life. |
