Welcome, you have reached the website for the Royal Victorian Jubilee lodge number 2184 in the province of Essex. In these pages you will be able to find out more about this masonic lodge, its history and some information about Freemasonry in general.
This Lodge has been running for well over a century and is a very active lodge with regards to increasing membership and striving to follow a high standard of ritual workings. Lodges can follow various types of ritual working and we at the Royal Victorian Jubilee lodge practice the Taylor’s ritual to the best standard we can.
We also operate a weekly Lodge school of improvement for our members to ensure our ritual workings are continually practiced and improved.
What Is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest fraternity, a brotherhood that transcends borders, languages, and creeds. While its modern form emerged from the stonemason guilds of medieval Britain, today it is a philosophical and charitable society rooted in moral teachings, ritual, and symbolism.
It is not a religion, though it requires belief in a Supreme Being. It is not a political party, though it emphasizes civic virtue. It is, at its heart, a spiritual path through which its members, called Freemasons or simply Masons, pursue truth, self-mastery, and the betterment of humanity.
Integrity
Honesty, trustworthiness, honour, reliability, and conscientiousness form the foundation of a virtuous character. They foster trust, maintain integrity, and demonstrate commitment, ultimately leading to a life of strong principles and dependable actions.
Friendship
Freemasonry gives members many opportunities to make a wide circle of friends for life who share common interests and values. It provides a bond of friendship and a sense of belonging. This promotes a feeling of enjoyment and fulfilment.
Respect
From its earliest days, Freemasonry has respected the beliefs of its members. It promotes an environment where diversity is valued. It is a space where different beliefs and backgrounds converge, fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity, tolerance and harmony.
Service
Whether participating in events, fundraising for a charitable cause or volunteering for public or community organisations, service is at the very heart of Freemasonry. Our members make valuable contributions by donating time, resources and skills.
