Royal Arch – Sussex Freemasons

Integrity is the cornerstone of the Four Pillars of Sussex Freemasonry, underpinning everything we do with honesty, accountability, and moral strength. It is not just about doing the right thing when others are watching, it’s about doing the right thing, always.

Freemasons across Sussex strive to lead by example in their personal, professional, and Masonic lives. From keeping our promises and standing by our principles, to supporting one another with sincerity and discretion, integrity is what builds trust, both within the Craft and in the wider world.

This pillar reflects our unwavering commitment to truth, reliability, and ethical conduct. It reminds us that our words and actions should always align, and that a Freemason’s honour is one of his most valuable assets.

Friendship forms a cherished part of the Four Pillars of Sussex Freemasonry, reflecting the deep bonds of trust, loyalty, and shared experience that unite us as brethren. It is through friendship that we find support, encouragement, and joy in our Masonic journey.
In Lodges across Sussex, this pillar comes to life in countless ways, from the warm welcome given to visitors, to the companionship shared over festive boards and the quiet, steadfast presence during life’s more difficult moments. These relationships often last a lifetime, rooted in mutual respect and a shared commitment to personal growth and service.

More than fellowship, friendship in Freemasonry represents a powerful network of genuine human connection, a reminder that no one should walk alone, and that together we are stronger, kinder, and more resilient.

Respect holds a vital place among the Four Pillars of Sussex Freemasonry, representing the dignity, kindness, and consideration we show to others—both within and beyond the walls of the Lodge. It is the foundation of our relationships, guiding how we treat our fellow Freemasons and all those we encounter in daily life.

In Sussex, this pillar is lived out through the way we listen, support, and uplift one another. Whether it’s welcoming a new member, supporting a brother in need, or engaging with our local communities with humility and open-mindedness, Freemasons show that respect is not just a value—it’s a way of being.

This pillar is more than just courtesy; it reflects our deep commitment to fairness, tolerance, and the enduring principles of equality and mutual regard that define Freemasonry at its heart.
