From the Norwegian Order of Freemasons (Note- GoogleTranslate machine translation)
I am appalled by the terrible crime has been committed in the government quarter and the Utøya, says the Norwegian-order Masonic Grand Master, Ivar A. Skar.
We think with sorrow and compassion for those who have been affected and their relatives.
It has emerged in the media that the accused has been a member of the Norwegian Order of Freemasons. He is now excluded with immediate effect.
Exclusion is an expression of the acts he is accused of having carried out and the values that appear to have motivated them is completely incompatible with what we stand for that order.
We build our business on the Christian and humanist values and want our members to contribute to the promotion of charity, peace and goodness in people.
The police will of course get all the help and information we can help with.

“A good Christian doesn’t need Freemasonry to do good for the poor and so on. “
No, you don’t. But I suppose you will concede that you can so much more done with organization than by yourself alone. Or maybe you can open up a place like the Shriner’s hospital for crippled children or maybe the Shriner’s burn center. huh?
You did know that the Shriners are Masons, didn’t you? Yep, every last one of them!
