Description

Freemasons, when considering their art and science, almost invariably identify with one single form of the pursuit, namely that system propagated by what has come to be known as mainstream Freemasonry and known to the world at large as regular Freemasonry. This form is typically one which acknowledges the English Grand Lodge (UGLE) as the standard-bearer of regular Freemasonry throughout the world, and one finds that, for example, all-male Freemasonry in USA adheres to this as the absolute and immutable standard of masonic exactness. The truth of what Freemasonry really is, is far more complex, and even the most superficial scholarship shows that, far from there being one single strand of this fascinating system of morality, there are many forms and organisations all calling themselves Freemasonry. Whereas the form of Freemasonry propagated by English all-male Freemasonry is a dogmatic form, insisting on rigid adherence to certain principles regarded by them as central to the masonic raison d'tre, one finds that when the English forms were exported to continental Europe they underwent an important change, resulting in European, and more especially French Masonic practice, being essentially adogmatic or liberal, and not as hide-bound by civic and other traditions, whilst remaining true to the core principles of what makes Freemasonry the secular spiritual pursuit that it is. Darren Lorente Bull here writes a work that is in its own way ground-breaking, inviting English-speakers to remove the blinkers and regard Freemasonry with a broader perspective. He invites us for example into a study of the Grand Orient de France, the largest Masonic Obedience in that country, which in line with social changes which have accompanied the 20thC and 21stC are now admitting women to their ranks not before time. But Lorente Bull also explores the equally fascinating world of Le Droit Humain, a mixed-gender Order that has existed in France since 1893, a quarter-century before women in Britain were accorded the right to vote! This is arguably the only book to lay out in such detail the rich panoply of Freemasonry in its many forms. If we are to really understand Freemasonry on a universal level, we need to read what Lorente Bull has to tell us. All Freemasons, of whatever persuasion, should read this book.
