George Washington Union

Our mission is to foster a fraternal organization that draws together people of good will, transcending nationality, race, and creed. Freemasonry stands on the principles of unity, irrespective of religious belief or philosophical theory. We strive to eradicate division and strife among humanity, dedicating ourselves to promoting the greater good of mankind. We proudly uphold absolute freedom of conscience, encouraging our members to pursue truth unhindered. By seeking to conquer ignorance, intolerance, and prejudice, we aim to restore mutual understanding, tolerance, and respect for individuals and their personal beliefs, fostering human enlightenment and unity. 

At the George Washington Union of Freemasonry, our actions and decisions are guided by a harmonious fusion of rationalism, humanism, and esotericism, rooted in our core values of harmony, unity, and diversity. These timeless principles and values, together with the Masonic values of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, shape our Masonic journey, enabling us to create a vibrant and inclusive community. 

Harmony through Rationalism: We foster an atmosphere of respectful dialogue, where differing viewpoints are welcomed, and critical thinking is encouraged. By valuing rational inquiry, we strengthen the bonds of understanding among our members, fostering a harmonious exchange of ideas.

Unity through Humanism: We celebrate the unique contributions of each individual and strive to build a cohesive and compassionate community. Our focus on the betterment of humanity unites us in a shared purpose, transcending differences and creating a sense of unity among our members.

Diversity through Esotericism: We acknowledge and appreciate the uniqueness of each member, cultivating a tapestry of diverse experiences. In the hidden knowledge and symbolism of our rituals, we discover the interconnectedness of all things and the beauty of diverse perspectives, forming a rich and profound Masonic tapestry.

Inclusivity and Gender Equality: We regard people of all gender identities on an equal basis, acknowledging their distinct yet complementary roles in our Masonic journey. Through this inclusivity, we strengthen the bonds of unity within our community, forging a path of collective growth and enlightenment.

Mutual Tolerance and Respect: We honor the freedom, and liberty, of conscience for each member, recognizing that our shared journey encompasses individuals from diverse backgrounds and belief systems. By cherishing this openness, we deepen our understanding of one another, fostering genuine unity among our ranks.

Collaboration and Solidarity: As we collaborate with other Masonic bodies, we actively seek mutual recognition and cooperation, nurturing a spirit of harmony and solidarity among all Masons. Rejecting divisive practices, we embrace the opportunity to cultivate unity within the broader Masonic world.
