Peace and harmony prevailing....a Masonic mantra if there ever was one. We say as part of our opening in Preston-Webb lodges that we would like to ensure that we not part unless things are harmonious.
We quote from scripture and provide Master Masons that no contention should exist among Masons.
Yet, we fail.
I want to address what has become on the greatest detriments in Masonry and is a common practice throughout the Craft, the largest body of Masons in the world being in the United States, even if were limited to the United States, it would still be a problem.
The progressive line and our concern for saving the feelings of one Brother hurts an entire lodge or jurisdiction. No place, more than Masonry, allows for the unfit to seek power. You can do so with a frown, no force, and feigned hurt feelings.
