In his just published book "On the Square – Decoding Freemasonry”, Stevan V. Nikolic proposes that three million Freemasons worldwide should use their institutional structures and financial power for the promotion of the humanistic ideals and positive solutions to the urgent social issues of today.
"On the Square – Decoding Freemasonry" was published by My Story Publishers DBA on July 15th 2013. In it, Mr. Nikolic examines various aspects of the concept of Freemasonry. What is the purpose and meaning of Freemasonry? Is it a practical philosophical concept or a religion in disguise? Is it a secret society with a dangerous agenda or a philanthropic association of good men (and women)? What are the aims of the more than three million members of this ancient fraternity? What is the future of Freemasonry? In this carefully researched and thought provoking work you will find some extremely controversial and very surprising conclusions that may change your understanding forever.
Mr. Nikolic says: -"Freemasonry is relevant as much as the actions of Freemasons are meaningful. For three centuries Freemasons were in the forefront of the positive social changes in the world. Washington, Garibaldi, Bolivar, Churchill, F D. Roosevelt, Truman, and many other famous Masons worked hard for the advancement of their countries. Critical decisions that they made in their times still affect us now. Freemasons of today should learn from their forerunners and act. They should use their ethical teachings not only for their own benefit but for the benefit of the societies in which they live. Giving money to charities and at the same time being on the sidelines of the social issues doesn't justify the existence of the fraternity.”
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest international fraternity. They define themselves as a "brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of a Supreme Being". Religious in its character, but not a religion, Freemasonry asks of its members to be "faithful and dedicated" to the religion of their own choice. Discussions on politics and religion are not allowed at their meetings. There are an estimated 3 million Freemasons worldwide, and more than a half of them in the United States.

By September 2013 book will also be available through the retail book channels in New York and elsewhere.
