Good question! The answer may not be as obvious as you think. Ask 20 different Masons and you might get 20 different answers.
In case you missed Sunday night's "Masonic Central" podcast, you might want to hear the episode where I was interviewed regarding this subject ("What is Freemasonry?"). You can access it at:

A few years ago, I wrote an article entitled, "Bryce's Masonic Planning Seminar," which describes a planning process for Masonic Lodges; you can find it at:
http://www.lodgeroomuk.net/bb/viewtopic.php?id=1846
In the seminar, I ask the question, "What is Freemasonry?" Last year we tried this seminar in my Lodge and it was one of the most stimulating Masonic meetings I ever attended. One of the byproducts was the following definition as developed by Dunedin Lodge No. 192 (and posted on the cover of our web site):
"Freemasonry is a Brotherhood of men who share common values and are interested in improving themselves, their community, and the world at large."
You might want to try the seminar in your Lodge as it is a very beneficial exercise.
Stay tuned!
Until next time.
All the Best,
