Order of the Secret Monitor

The Order of the Secret Monitor, also known as the Brotherhood of David and Jonathan, is a fraternal organization within Freemasonry.

Members, called "Brethren," participate in degrees that explore moral virtues and mutual support. The order operates independently but is often associated with Freemasonry. The rituals of the Order of the Secret Monitor contribute to the moral and philosophical development of its members, encouraging a deeper understanding of friendship and commitment within the Masonic context.
