Freemason symbols including a compass and an eye seem to have spawned lots of conspiracy theories but according to the former president of Ghana, John Agyekum Kuffour, helped describe their society as a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.
In fact, the freemason society has long been seen as a secret society or cult, a group of men who have sold their souls to the devil.
However, the Ghana chapter of the society hopes to change these perceptions with the launch of a book titled “The Freemasons,”. Nevertheless, the author of the book, Mr. Abraham Gyesie, stated that these rumors concerning freemasonry are simply not true. According to Mr. Gyesie, even plain criminals intent on duping people say they are Freemasons to escape punishment.
“If you don’t believe in God, there’s no way you can be a Freemason, pure and simple.”
“If for any reason you indicate you want to be a Freemason and you’re invited for an interview they’ll ask you, ‘In whom is your faith, do you believe in God?” He said.
“If the person responds to the question by saying, no, then the interview will stop “straightaway”.He added
He also went on to say that whenever a Freemason meeting is convened one is not allowed to discuss politics.
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has been appointed a Senior Grand Warden of the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE).
He was on Wednesday appointed by the United Grand Lodge of England Grand Master, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, who is the longest serving Grand Master.
“Congratulations to Right Worshipful Brother, His Excellency John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor, PGSwdB, former President of the Republic of Ghana, who has been appointed Senior Grand Warden by the Grand Master, His Royal Highness, The Duke of Kent,” the lodge announced on its Facebook page.
The United Grand Lodge of England is the governing body for most Freemasons within the UK, with lodges in other Commonwealth countries outside the United Kingdom.
The United Grand Lodge of England claims to be the oldest Grand Lodge in the world, by descent from the first Grand Lodge formed in London in 1717.
It is Headquartered in Freemasons’ Hall, London and is known to have more than 200,000 members.
President Kufuor is no stranger to such distinguished honors having previously been honored as a Knight Commander of the Order of Bath of the UK by Queen Elizabeth II and the highest award of the Order of the House of Orange by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, among other international honors.
