1. How widely followed is Freemasonry?
In the UK alone, there are over 320,000 Freemasons and more than 8,000 Lodges. The Masonic fraternity is further represented in dozens of countries throughout the world, with membership believed to exceed 6 millions. (Source, External Relations Dept. - UGLE)
Some so-called "Masonic" organisations found overseas may not conform to the constitutions by which we operate and therefore we cannot and do not recognise them.
