Good Neighbour Lodge No. 8378 (West Kent)

Brotherhood in action – Tradition alive – Friendship that endures!

Some Masonic meetings are more than gatherings. They are a powerful reminder of what our Brotherhood truly stands for.
On Friday 25th September, Good Neighbour Lodge No. 8378 (West Kent) met at Connaught Court, York, under dispensation from the Yorkshire N&E Ridings and West Kent Provinces, for a memorable evening filled with fellowship, history and Masonic spirit.
What makes this Lodge truly special, as a peripatetic Lodge, is its mission.
By travelling to Care Homes across the country, Good Neighbour Lodge brings Freemasonry to Brethren who might otherwise be unable to attend a Lodge meeting.
A beautiful expression of our enduring commitment to Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth, ensuring that distance and circumstance need never break the bonds of Brotherhood.

The very well-attended meeting welcomed W Bro John Wilkinson, Deputy Provincial Grand Master, and W Bro Dr Christopher Ansell, CofM, PGStB, Past Deputy Grand Master, who delivered a fascinating talk entitled “Celebrating Our Legendary Roots”.
The Brethren were taken back to the legendary assembly of Masons at York in 926 AD, exploring the traditions behind this remarkable chapter of Masonic history and the Ancient Charges ceremony of The Masonic Order of Athelstan, commemorated annually in York.

Honouring our past, Living our principles, Strengthening our Brotherhood!

The journey continues, with the next meeting taking place at R.M.B.I Prince George, Duke of Kent Court, Chislehurst, in November.
Because Freemasonry is not measured merely by the meetings we attend, but by the bonds we build, the care we show and the Brothers we never forget!

That is Brotherhood in action!
