What is the SBCs stance on “Freemasonry?”
The SBC passed a resolution in 1992 opposing membership and participation in organizations that contradict the Bible (http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/amResolution.asp?ID=328), but these resolutions are not binding upon local churches. In its 1993 report, the SBC stated that there were aspects of Freemasonry that are incompatible with Christianity. The main conclusion of the report states: We conclude that many tenets and teachings of Freemasonry are not compatible with Christianity or Southern Baptist doctrine. The North American Mission Board of the SBC has published several articles critical of Freemasonry.
