Welcome to 218's site providing information on the
Victorian Lodge of Research.
The Victorian Lodge of Research • 218 has long claimed for itself the following dedication and, in my personal opinion, successfully meets the challenges these present:
The lodge is dedicated to Masonic research and the diffusion of Masonic knowledge; it seeks to uphold the great tradition of the Craft and the promotion of interest in all that constitutes Freemasonry. It sets no limits to its research, except it be within masonic bounds; it addresses the problems that confront the Craft today and confronts the challenge of the future. Finally, the Lodge holds the view that, in the ultimate interests of the craft, no opinion be stifled, provided it be advanced in the true masonic spirit.
'218', as we affectionately refer to our research Lodge, offers a spirit of pleasurable engagement in furthering the Light that is Freemasonry. If in Melbourne, consider attending and judging for yourself. If the length of your Masonic cabletow prevents attendance, consider the Correspondence Circle.
