In discussing Freemasonry, we can talk about Masonic
Tradition, Masonic History, Masonic Philosophy, and Masonry
Today. However, underlying all of these is the basic purpose of Freemasonry: make
good men better.
We place emphasis on the individual man by strengthening his character, improving his
moral and spiritual outlook, and broadening his mental horizons. We impress upon the minds
of our members the principles of personal responsibility and morality, encouraging each
member to practice in his daily life the lessons taught through symbols of the Craft.
One of the universal doctrines of Freemasonry is the belief in the Brotherhood of Man
and the Fatherhood of God. The importance of this belief is established by each Mason
as he practices the three principal tenets of Masonry: Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
Masonry is also the custodian of a tradition of initiation. It is the duty of every
Freemason to preserve and perpetuate this tradition for future ages. This is a heavy
responsibility and should give pause to any who would seek to make changes in the body of
the Craft, except those with the highest motives and deepest understanding of the
principles involved |
