Sirius is a
modern and progressive Masonic Lodge
operating under the authority of the
Grand
Orient of the United States of America,
in the Orient of Georgia, Valley of Atlanta. We
are dedicated to the betterment of humanity
through the preservation of human rights and
the promotion of ecological sustainability.
Sirius is a
cosmopolitan brotherhood of Free-Masons who
have joined together to discuss and help solve many of
the issues facing our society today.
Our cause
is the intellectual, spiritual and
social advancement of humanity. To
accomplish these aims we have
established the following guiding
principles for Free-Masonry:
We
believe in the freedom of conscience of
all people, and that it is an essential
component of liberty, equality and
fraternity.
We believe in and support the separation
of religion and government, and promote
religious and spiritual tolerance among
all people.
We believe in and support the freedom of
the press as a necessary component of
maintaining the inalienable rights of
all human beings, and that among these
are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.
We believe in and support the need for
higher education and life-long learning.
We believe in and support an impartial
judiciary system as essential to
guaranteeing the preservation of human
rights.
We believe in and support the arts and
sciences as essential elements in the
progress and evolution of humanity.
We believe in and support efforts that
work towards global environmental and
ecological sustainability as essential
to the survival of the human species.
The members
of the Masonic fraternity were at the
forefront of the European Enlightenment and
have continued their pursuit of knowledge
and understanding down to the present day.
Our interests range from the latest theories
in Quantum Mechanics to social and economic
development in third world nations.
Sirius Lodge
offers a form of the original Free-Masonry
that was practiced in the late seventeenth
and early eighteenth centuries. This time
period marked the beginning of the Age of
Enlightenment, ushering in a period where
science and reason began to overcome
superstition and fear. Early Free-Masons were
intimately involved with this intellectual
movement and the Free-Masonry that evolved
from it was one of the building blocks of
modern democracies. Sirius Lodge offers a
return to the intellectual and scientific
roots of the original Free-Masonry.
