Who We Are
Nur Lodge No. 2000 is a bilingual Lodge of Freemasons chartered on the 26th of May 2000, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons (FAAM) of the District of Columbia.
The Lodge performs the ritual in Turkish language, in Emulation form, at the Singleton Temple in Washington DC.
Its members are mainly Turks residing in Washington DC metropolitan area, Americans of Turkish heritage or in love with Turkey and interested in maintaining a close masonic link with Turkey and Turks living in Turkey and the rest of the world who frequently come to the United States for professional, academic or scientific reasons.
As a lodge, we strive to be active in our community. We have various charitable and educational events throughout the year, as well as social occasions. Some events are for members only, but many include our families.
OUR MISSION
Nur Lodge’s mission is to promote personal growth and improve the lives of others. We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and the community as a whole. We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, in our lodge, and in the global community.
