Why is Freemasonry a Unique Institution?
In many ways it is not. There are other organisations in existence that also value their privacy. It may be because Freemasonry is so popular that it attracts a greater degree of attention than these other organisations. Historically Freemasonry was but one institution among many. For instance there were the Free Gardeners, Free Shepherds, Free Carpenters, Free Colliers, etc. which were organised along similar lines to Freemasonry and taught morality by way of their own ritual plays and symbolism. Most of these organisations no longer exist leaving Freemasonry as the only example of this once common form of society or association.
