Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" and real Masonry

Boon or Bane? The Lost Symbol is an exciting thriller, and we can see the tourist guide companies in Washington, DC gearing up for Lost Symbol tours of that culturally and architecturally rich city. Most of the material presented in the book is accurate, with a few artistic liberties taken. For the novice, or uneducated reader, the book may serve as an excellent introduction to the world of Freemasonry.

One early chapter in particular recounts a lecture the main character, Robert Langdon, gives to his Harvard Class on the Masonic Fraternity.

Those who have previously educated themselves in Masonry's rich benevolent traditions may be interested in submitting a petition for membership.

FreemasonLostSymbol.com is a thorough and growing resource dedicated to public education of Masonry in response to "The Lost Symbol". It is hosted by The Masonic Society, Masonic Service Association and the George Washington Masonic Memorial.

The Grand Lodge of Ohio has a brief write-up, including a quote from Dan Brown as to why he chose the Masons as his subject matter: “in a world where men do battle over whose definition of God is most accurate, I cannot adequately express the deep respect and admiration I feel toward an organization in which men of differing faiths are able to ‘break bread together’ in a bond of brotherhood, friendship, and camaraderie.” [more at freemason.com]
