Originally founded in 1923 as a Masonic Research Society, the Missouri Lodge of Research was formally chartered by The Grand Lodge of Missouri in 1941, and it has continually strived to provide educational and instructional materials that will enable our members to learn about and understand the "beautiful system of morals, veiled in allegory" that Freemasonry teaches its votaries
The George Washington Masonic National Memorial was constructed entirely with voluntary contributions from members of the Masonic Fraternity. The Memorial Association is the only unified effort of all of the Grand Lodges in the United States. The construction of this beautiful, awe-inspiring Memorial was the single most important 20th century successful endeavor by the entire Masonic fraternity. Each Grand Lodge is a sovereign body in its own territorial jurisdiction but the love and reverence for George Washington by the Masons in this country is amply demonstrated by the collective effort of all of the jurisdictions to keep this Memorial to Washington, the Mason, a living reality.
National Sojourners, Inc., is a national fraternal organization meeting the needs of military Masons and advancing programs that promote love of country.

"A Knight of Freemasonry Universal is a Mason who actively champions the causes represented by this sign. Like the knight in ancient orders of chivalry, a Knight of Freemasonry Universal is dedicated to a cause beyond self, and is willing to make great sacrifices in the fulfillment of a just cause. In addition to the obligations of a Master Mason, the Knight of Freemasonry Universal is bound to the ideals expressed in Anderson's Constitutions of 1723, making the hand of fraternity available to all who are good and true, honorable and honest, affirming that it is the internal and not the external qualities by which one becomes a Mason, and therefore practices equal regard for every race, creed or color. The soul of a Knight of Freemasonry Universal is resolved to labor for the complete establishment of Masonry as a center of union, and the means of conciliating true friendship among persons that may have remained at a perpetual distance."
