Forget The DaVinci Code. There's nothing secret about this fraternal organization, except maybe its handshake and a few other things. Although a belief in god or supreme being is required, your religious affiliation is not an issue. The group follows the principles of "brotherly love, relief and truth." In short, it wants to help men become better people and to help others. A separate order is open exclusively to women. This Lodge recently celebrated its bicentennial.
