BROTHERLY LOVE:
How a man chooses to practice his personal religious beliefs is left
entirely up to him, but Freemasonry recognizes the strong bond which
unites all people under One Creator. Our members include men from a
wide range of religious backgrounds, but each of them shares a
commitment to this important principle.RELIEF:
Because of our strong bond of Brotherly Love, Masons provide Relief
to help those who are in need. This includes the notion of charity,
and Masons provide much assistance to worthy charities, but it also
means offering a helping hand, in other ways, to people that need
assistance.
TRUTH:
As Masons, we are committed to being honest and truthful with other
people. The Masonic Fraternity teaches a man to be faithful to his
responsibilities to God, his Country, his fellow man, his family and
himself. The Masonic principle of Truth also teaches a man to search
for wisdom and understanding. For only in this way can he grow and
become a better person. The pursuit of knowledge is at the very
heart of our purpose.
Other Beliefs Common to Freemasons:
Faith must be the center of our lives.
All men and women are the children of God.
No one has the right to tell another person what he or she
must think or believe.
Each person has a responsibility to be a good citizen, obeying
the law.
It is important to work to make the world a better place for
all.
Honor and integrity are keys to a meaningful life.
