The Future of Freemasonry in DenmarkGrowth or Decline?af Bent Okholm

The Future of Freemasonry in Denmark talks about what Freemasonry is, but also what it is not . Read about what it is that attracts more than 6 million men around the world, and read about the valuesof Freemasonry, its attitudes and relationship with today's society.

Danish Freemasonry differs in important respects from international Freemasonry. Despite a ban on political and religious interference which has been in place for many years, these two areas have had a profound impact on the situation in Denmark today. Things in Denmark have gone wrong. The reader will gain an understanding of why this is and what can happen when people who do not have the right skills are given power.

The second part of the book deals with the development of Freemasonry in Denmark with an emphasis on the last 60 years - including an introduction to someone who was both a great asset to the development of Freemasonry, but who also the focus of newspaper headlines here and abroad, including an article in The Telegraph under the headline, "The mysterious Mr Larsen: MI5 spy, terrorist or Walter Mitty fantasist?"

Finally, the book raises the question of whether Freemasonry, as we know it and as it has been present in Denmark for the past 273 years, faces growth or decline.
