Freemasonry
is a fraternal organisation that traces its origins to the local
fraternities of stonemasons, which from the end of the fourteenth
century regulated the qualifications of masons and their interaction
with authorities and clients. The degrees of freemasonry, its gradal
system, retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of
Apprentice, journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master
Mason. These are the degrees offered by craft, or blue lodge
Freemasonry. There are additional degrees, which vary with locality and
jurisdiction, and are now administered by different bodies than the
craft degrees.
The basic, local organisational unit of
Freemasonry is the lodge. The lodges are usually supervised and governed
at the regional level (usually coterminous with either a state,
province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. There is
no international, world-wide Grand Lodge that supervises all of
Freemasonry. Each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not
necessarily recognise each other as being legitimate.
Freemasonry
describes itself as a beautiful system of morality, veiled in allegory
and illustrated by symbols.[13] The symbolism is mainly, but not
exclusively, drawn from the manual tools of stonemasons - the square and
compasses, the level and plumb rule, the trowel, among others. A moral
lesson is attached to each of these tools, although the assignment is by
no means consistent. The meaning of the symbolism is taught and
explored through ritual.[10]
All Freemasons begin their journey
in the "craft" by being progressively initiated, passed and raised into
the three degrees of craft, or blue lodge Masonry. During these three
rituals, the candidate is progressively taught the meanings of the lodge
symbols, and entrusted with grips, signs and words to signify to other
Masons that he has been so initiated. The initiations are part allegory
and part lecture, and revolve around the construction of the Temple of
Solomon, and the artistry and death of his chief architect, Hiram Abiff.
The degrees are those of Entered apprentice, Fellowcraft and Master
Mason. While many different versions of these rituals exist, with two
different lodge layouts and versions of the Hiram myth, each version is
recognisable to any Freemason from any jurisdiction.[10]
In some
jurisdictions the main themes of each degree are illustrated by tracing
boards. These painted depictions of Masonic themes are exhibited in the
lodge according to which degree is being worked, and are explained to
the candidate to illustrate the legend and symbolism of each degree.[14]
The
idea of Masonic brotherhood probably descends from a 16th-century legal
definition of a brother as one who has taken an oath of mutual support
to another. Accordingly, Masons swear at each degree to keep the
contents of that degree secret, and to support and protect their
brethren unless they have broken the law.[15] In most lodges the oath or
obligation is taken on a Volume of Sacred Law, whichever book of divine
revelation is appropriate to the religious beliefs of the individual
brother (usually the Bible in the Anglo-American tradition). In
Progressive continental Freemasonry, books other than scripture are
permissible, a cause of rupture between Grand lodges
Since the
middle of the 19th century, Masonic historians have sought the origins
of the movement in a series of similar documents known as the Old
Charges, dating from the Regius Poem in about 1425[37] to the beginning
of the 18th century. Alluding to the membership of a lodge of operative
masons, they relate a mythologised history of the craft, the duties of
its grades, and the manner in which oaths of fidelity are to be taken on
joining.[38] The fifteenth century also sees the first evidence of
ceremonial regalia.[39]
There is no clear mechanism by which
these local trade organisations became today's Masonic lodges, but the
earliest rituals and passwords known, from operative lodges around the
turn of the 17th-18th centuries, show continuity with the rituals
developed in the later 18th century by accepted or speculative Masons,
as those members who did not practice the physical craft came to be
known.[40] The minutes of the Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) No.1
show a continuity from an operative lodge in 1598 to a modern
speculative lodge.
Detroit /dɨˈtrɔɪt/[7] is the most populous
city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the largest city on the United
States-Canada border. It is the seat of Wayne County, the most populous
county in the state. It is a primary business, cultural, financial and
transportation center in the Metro Detroit area, a region of 5.2 million
people, and serves as a major port on the Detroit River connecting the
Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway. It was founded on July
24, 1701, by the French explorer and adventurer Antoine Laumet de La
Mothe, sieur de Cadillac.
The Detroit area emerged as a
significant metropolitan region within the United States as construction
of a regional freeway system was completed in the 1950s and 1960s. With
these commuting ties allowing social and economic integration across a
larger area, the Detroit name sometimes refers to the three-county Urban
Area (population 3,734,090, area of 1,337 square miles (3,460 km2), as
of the 2010 United States Census), the six-county Metropolitan
Statistical Area (2010 Census population of 4,296,250, area of 3,913
square miles [10,130 km2]), or the nine-county Combined Statistical Area
(2010 Census population of 5,218,852, area of 5,814 square miles
[15,060 km2]).[6][8][9] The Detroit–Windsor area, a commercial link
straddling the Canada–U.S. border, has a total population of about
5,700,000.[10] The Detroit metropolitan region currently holds roughly
one-half of the state's population.[5][11] "Detroit" is a metonym for
the American automobile industry and an important source of popular
music legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, the
Motor City and Motown.[12][13] Other nicknames arose in the 20th
century, including City of Champions beginning in the 1930s for its
successes in individual and team sport,[14] The D, Hockeytown (a
trademark owned by the city's NHL club, the Red Wings), Rock City (after
the Kiss song "Detroit Rock City"), and The 313 (its telephone area
code).[15][16] Detroit's auto industry was an important element of the
American "Arsenal of Democracy" supporting the Allied powers during
World War II.[17]
Between 2000 and 2010 the city's population
fell by 25 percent, changing its ranking from the nation's 10th largest
city to 18th.[18] In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777, more
than a 60 percent drop down from a peak population of over 1.8 million
at the 1950 census, indicating a serious and long-running decline of
Detroit's economic strength.[5] Commensurate with the shift of
population and jobs to its suburbs or other states, the city has had to
adjust its role within the larger metropolitan area. Downtown Detroit
has seen an increased role as an entertainment hub in the 21st century,
with the opening of three casinos, new stadiums, and a riverfront
revitalization project. However, many neighborhoods remain distressed.
The
state governor declared a financial emergency in March 2013, appointing
an emergency manager. On July 18, 2013, Detroit filed the largest
municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history.[19] It was declared bankrupt
by Judge Steven W. Rhodes of the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan on December 3, who cited its $18.5 billion debt and
declared that negotiations with its thousands of creditors were
unfeasible
