Men from different walks of life meet as equals and call one another Brother.
CHARACTER.
Its lessons invite a man to examine how he lives, serves, leads and treats others.
KNOWLEDGE.
Symbol, allegory and reflection are used to communicate moral ideas that reach beyond a single generation.
SERVICE.
Masonic principles are intended to be carried beyond the Lodge and into family, community and everyday life.
