Masonic Law

If a mason abuses his power inside the lodge, insults and belittle others, never comes prepared for ritual, misinforms and misguides others, insults worshipful master behind his back, make racial and discriminatory remarks, what can be done to deal with him and what punishments he is liable to?

Disciplinary proceedings begin with a written charge signed by an accuser and delivered to the lodge Secretary, who reads it at a regular communication. The accuser does not need to be a Mason, provided the charge alleges an offense falling within the lodge's jurisdiction. Ample time is granted for the accused to prepare a defense, and the examination of witnesses takes place in open lodge—or before a committee—with both the accuser and accused entitled to be present.
