Is Freemasonry not some kind of historical anachronism in the times of globalisation and information society? Does it not belong to the past?
Freemasonry began in the Renaissance as a spiritual movement based on the freethinking and moral values of the Western civilisation. Modern man needs as much of spiritual support, pondering, conversation in a friendly environment as in the past. Freemasonry offers him just that. Does the world need Freemasonry? Let us ask ourselves whether the world still needs tolerance, striving for equality, freedom and fraternity, striving for humanism, values, human rights and enlightenment or does the world already have enough and to much of this?
