Freemasonry and Christianity

This book, originally published in 1987, is the result of a series of meetings held by a Working Group established by the Standing Committee of General Synod. They were asked to prepare a short paper (this book) which explored the subject of whether Christianity and Freemasonry are compatible. The book is an ideal starting point for those interested in this issue. It includes:a brief historical background to modern Freemasonry in England; details about the constitution and structure of Freemasonry; an analysis of the nature of the "secrecy" of the organization; an examination of the rituals carried out by Freemasons; an exploration of the nature and extent of Masonic charity.
