'The mission of
Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like
minded men in a worldwide brotherhood that transcends all religious,
ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching
principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth: and, by the outward
expression of these, through its fellowship, its compassion, and its
concern, to find ways in which to serve God, family, country, neighbors
and self.'
