Provincial Grand Lodge of Sussex

For many years Freemasons have followed three great principles. Freemasons believe that these principles represent a way of achieving higher standards in life.

Brotherly Love

Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.

Relief

Freemasons are taught to practice charity and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.

Truth

Freemasons strive for truth and honesty, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives.
