Responsibilities and Values

Responsabilities: An Opportunity to Grow

In a Lodge, administrative work is mandatory. Members who have reached the level of Master Mason can access administrative positions in order to ensure that the Lodge is managed properly. The Lodge must appoint a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. Other positions more oriented towards the observance of the rituals are also on the list. It is the responsibility of the administrative council to establish the annual calendar and to follow the progress of each member.

The Common Values of Freemasonry

Les valeurs communes de la Franc-maçonnerie

The main principles that are now found in the Human Rights Charters of democratic countries, were revolutionary values in the past, essentially supported by progressive minds, among whom were several Freemasons.

At all times, Freemasonry has fought against religious or political fanaticism that imposes by force so-called absolute truths. To tolerate does not mean to be indifferent, but to understand and accept that others may have concepts contrary to our own, and to admit that in a healthy society, all points of view can be expressed as long as they do not call for hatred or destructive violence. Respect for difference implies the recognition of the right to equality between human beings and the freedom of each person to choose their own way, their own interpretation of the phenomena that surround us.

Values Specific to “Le Droit Humain”

The International Order of Freemasonry for Men and Women “Le Droit Humain” differs from other Masonic orders for three specific reasons:

  • Gender equality
  • International character
  • Initiatory continuity

Par la mixité, il proclame l’égalité de l’homme et de la femme, condition incontournable de l’évolution de toute société de progrès et gage d’équilibre et de développement harmonieux pour les générations futures. Par son caractère international, c’est à dire sans distinction de nationalités, d’ethnies, de religions, de cultures, les Francs-maçons du «Droit Humain» sont unis dans un même idéal et ont pour finalité la recherche de points de convergence dans la pensée et l’action individuelle sous le signe de l’universalité. La continuité initiatique assure les diverses étapes ou degrés du cheminement initiatique qui révèlent le niveau de connaissances maçonniques atteint par celui ou celle qui en est détenteur.
