ADVANCEMENT OF MASONIC LITERACY

Today we are reaping the benefits of quiet diplomacy and the application of ethics fundamental to our Brotherhood. It has the challenges and freedoms of democracy. In a world where subtlety is taken as weakness, where cynicism justifies abuses of power, we have been a group of men who 'see' a difference and dedicate themselves to actually improving quality of life.  Using a language that connects us with the universe, we stand in contrast to aggression. Masonic pilgrims living in an imperfect world, stand as testiment that men are also thoughtful, and through insight are a power unlike anyother.  2020 we continue to assess and adapt, always in motion. Unapologetically male, unapologetically studying ideas that work in contemplation, comfortable with metaphysics, yearning for accurate history, philosophical integrity, and discovery of symbolic knowledge, our literacy has grown. We experiment during each generation, with simpler answers only to be lead into the architecture  of ancient landmarks. Improvement, meaningless without context, self-examination fueled by maturity, there is a seriousness to a life dedicated to happiness.  The process of Masonry is complicated and as simple as that. It requires ability to become a mason after a man has been made a mason. Ability?  Is it genius or industriousness or both? We are not an undertaking for men unprepared and unable to commit.  And every member is welcome to join the conversation that has been ongoing for hundreds of years.
