Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every Mason in the World understood and lived up to the principles stated above, and by their actions, shone a light out into the World a message of Love, Peace & Understanding. This may be just a dream, but little of value has ever occurred without a dream. God Bless.
What a person believes has everything to do with what a person is and becomes. A simple statement of belief can describe so well such a person and even a whole history of ideas. I hope that this creed may have some special meaning to you.
