Who frequent the masonic lodges of the Grand Orient

The Grand Orient of France has about 250 buildings spread over the territory. Master Edouard BOEGLIN presents some of the 80 members of the Mulhouse lodge. The 6 freemasons shows a rather representative panel of the lodge’s members: a journalist, a former miner, a doctor, a railway worker, a computer scientist, a communications director of a large company. This diversity, according to Denis LAEDLIN, doctor, is one of the attractions of Freemasonry: "finally find other people than those you are used to dating, with whom you are used to talking, with whom you are used to thinking". Political trends may be diverse but are not taken into account in discussions within the lodge. Edouard BOEGLIN then explains that they are not there to play partisan politics, their objective is to "try to develop a society that is more satisfactory than the one that exists at present".
