As with many facets of human life, a full understanding of the truth provides enlightenment. Scottish Rite Freemasonry welcomes men of all faiths and encourages each man to faithfully pursue his personal religious beliefs. Reasonable men can judge for themselves whether such an organization is something our Creator, by whatever name we may call Him, would smile upon. —
Ill. James D. Cole, 33°, Sovereign Grand Commander, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A.
Scottish Rite Creed
Human progress is our cause, liberty of thought our supreme wish, freedom of conscience our mission,
and the guarantee of equal rights to all people everywhere our ultimate goal.
