Washington Daylight Lodge #14 is a proud Masonic lodge, chartered December 23, 1991, by the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, but includes in its heritage 4 lodges that were founded in 1852, 1905, 1923, and 1924, which through a series of consolidations came to be included in the current Washington Daylight Lodge #14.
Masons are a unique institution that has been a major part of community life in America for over two hundred and fifty (250) years. It is America’s largest and oldest fraternity, and one that continues to be an important part of many men’s personal lives and growth.
Masons are an organization of men bound together with a philosophy of moral standards, mutual understanding and brotherhood in which all men are on a level and equal.
Although Freemasonry is not a religion, its emphasis on the Fatherhood of God ensures that the Brotherhood of Man follows naturally. This coupled with the obligation to abide by the Golden Rule, particularly with a fellow Mason, makes for one of the strongest bonds of society. When you meet other Masons, the odds are very high indeed, that they will treat you as you would like to be treated.
