SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM HIS ROYAL MAJESTY MOST WORSHIPFUL BRO. OTUMFUO OSEI TUTU II ASANTEHENE

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Asantehene
Most Worshipful Grand Patron Of The Grand Lodge of Ghana, Very Worshipful Past Grand Sword Bearer of The United Grand Lodge of England.

I am very happy to contribute this Special Message to Brother Abraham Gyesie’s latest book at his invitation. I have known Abraham as a very knowledgeable Freemason and a prolific writer and an accomplished lecturer on Masonic subjects with several publications to his credit. He has served as Chairman of the Masonic Education Committee of the Grand Lodge of Ghana; an appointment he has executed with honour. Indeed, I have read most of his publications and I believe that these have helped a lot of Brethren to expand and deepen their own understanding of the principles and tenets of Freemasonry.

This book is however different from his previous publications; it is a reissue of an earlier publication titled “The Work of the Lodge and Duties of the Brethren”. Brother Gyesie had previously written it for the benefit of Freemasons.

This latest edition is however addressed to and meant for both Freemasons as well as the general public all over the world and is available in both hard copies and eBook formats. It will serve the dual purpose of educating and stimulating Brethren to appreciate the true meaning and purpose of Freemasonry, i.e. it serves as a tool to help Brethren and those of the outer world to develop themselves for duty to God and country.

This book provides information and instruction to any non-Mason wishing to know more about Freemasonry from an insider and an authority in this domain. This will no doubt help to remove some of their misconceptions that Freemasonry is a secret society or a strange religion.

“To so high an eminence has the credit of Masonry been advanced, that in every age Monarchs themselves have been promoters of the Art, have not thought it derogatory to their dignity to exchange the Scepter with the Trowel, have studied our mysteries, and joined in our assemblies”. With such a testimonial it is no wonder my illustrious predecessor, His Royal Majesty Otumfuo Opoku Ware II, Asantehene was a Freemason. His Royal Majesty Sir. Agyeman Prempeh II, Asantehene and I have been Freemasons at heart and mind. I am a proud Freemason and I confirm that the principles and tenets of Freemasonry that we are taught in the Lodge, especially in the areas of Governance and Accountability have always stood me in good stead in my daily functions as Asantehene. Indeed Freemasonry is a way of life.

I support the publication and launching of this book “the Freemasons; Who we are; What we stand for and do; Our relevance – An insider’s view” by Bro. Abraham Gyesie. I recommend this book to every Freemason and to members of the general public.

Keep up the good work Abraham, the Craftsman and spread the light of Freemasonry through your dedicated writings to the glory of our noble Institution for the benefit of mankind.
