WHY MASONIC WORLD GUIDE?

Welcome to the Masonic World Guide. I’m Kent Henderson.

In 1984, I published the first Masonic World Guide—a travel guide designed to help

Freemasons connect with lodges worldwide. This was followed by an updated edition in

2002. I’m excited to announce that my new online Masonic World Guide website is now

active, providing users with all the necessary information to visit recognized lodges globally.

Lodges can be found in nearly every country, from Argentina to Zimbabwe and Canada to

Fiji!

In the section titled "Some Notes to Begin," you’ll find detailed procedures for visiting

lodges. Each country section includes comprehensive information about its Grand Lodge,

visitor guidelines, lodge locations, customs, and dress codes, meeting times—everything a

visiting Mason needs for a successful visit.

Freemasonry is a remarkable global fraternity, and visiting lodges is one of its greatest

privileges. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting and speaking at lodges across the

globe. It’s the only organization where, as a Mason, you can enter a room full of strangers

anywhere in the world and be welcomed like a close friend and brother.

Many Freemasons miss the opportunity to visit lodges while travelling simply because

they’re unaware of how to do so, where local lodges meet, or the proper procedures. My

Masonic World Guide addresses all these concerns. Aside from its use by the Masonic

visitors, I believe it will be also of huge interest to the armchair travel.

Looking ahead, we’ll offer Video blogs, chat facilities and much more. Through the website,

Masons who have visited will be able share their experiences and provide insights to help

others.
