FLT and Religion

Odd Fellowship respects all recognized religions, and we encourage our members to faithfully support the religion of their choice. To become an Odd Fellow or Rebekah you must be grateful to your Creator, faithful to your country, and fraternal to your fellowman. In our lodge rooms we meet for mutual counsel, the relief of distress, and the elevation of human character.

We are taught on the threshold of Odd Fellowship to have reverence for God, to be industrious, and to act upon the Golden Rule, which requires us to do unto others as we would that they should do unto us. It should be made clear that Odd Fellowship is NOT a religion. We are eager to welcome all honorable men and women of high moral character as members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, but we want our members to continue their dedication to their church or temple.
