BROTHERLY LOVE .'. RELIEF .'. TRUTH LIBERTY .'. EQUALITY .'. FRATERNITY
Our Continuing Commitment as Masons.
Very Simple but Meaningful Words.
We had experienced how Masons engaged themselves into healthy and at times unhealthy debates on matters pertaining to our Fraternity (as well as religion and Politics, Ed.). Unhealthy, because at times it resulted to outright disrespect for one another. This had happened not only inside the Lodge but also outside the Lodge particularly in the course of exchange of emails and text messaging and even during fellowship.
For an ordinary Mason with a simple faithful heart, it hurts, really, really hurts.
It is the simple wish of this faithful heart that each and every Mason respect others’ opinion, belief and understanding of our Fraternity (as well as others plotics and religion, Ed.). A wish that we Masons can show mankind that we practice mutual respect for one another regardless of color, creed and affiliation.
It is the simple wish of this faithful heart to immediately resolve existing factionalism, divisiveness and misunderstandings in our respective Lodges thereby strengthening not only the Lodges but Masonic Districts and Grand Lodges as well.
It is the simple wish of this faithful heart that the newly elected and appointed officers of each and every Lodge lead the brethren to a better and stronger fraternity.
Finally, it is the simple wish of this faithful heart that as we enter the year 2008, we, Masons, live up, in and outside of our respective Lodges, our continuing commitment to our fraternity, BROTHERLY LOVE .'. RELIEF .'. TRUTH .'. LIBERTY .'. EQUALITY .'. FRATERNITY and make 2008 a true and fulfilling Masonic Year.
Together Brethren we can achieve this simple wish.
With my best regards,
