New Zealand – Freemasons becoming less secretive
One of the world’s most secret societies is becoming less secretive after losing about 45,000 members over a decade.
Freemasons from all over the country made their way to Wānaka recently to celebrate 100 years in town with New Zealand Freemasons Grand Master James L Watt coming from the Wellington lodge.
The group’s origins date back to 15th century England. The first New Zealand Masonic Lodge made its way to Wellington in 1843.
The fraternity is known for its secrecy, but has opened up in recent years in hopes of attracting more members. There are only 5000 members left in the country.
