Truefriendship began
on St John's day 1773 in Calcutta India by NCO's of the East India Tea
Company; we have met continuously since that time, even throughout two
World Wars. Returning to the United Kingdom in the 1970's we believe
that the ability of Truefriendship to survive where other Lodges have
fallen by the wayside is the ability of the Truefriendship to change
with the times, but maintaining the history and principles of our
founders. It is up to us to maintain that history and pass it and our
secrets to the next generation:
And what of those secrets:
Benjamin Franklin once wrote:
What is the Secret of
Freemasonry? The secret of Freemasonry is that there is, in fact no
secret. By this paradox he may have meant that in freemasonry as in life
"Seek and ye shall find", that satisfaction in the search for truth is
easier that it seems, if we can but open our minds and hearts and see
our fellow men as brothers to be loved, not as people to be afraid of,
or enemies to be beaten
