"The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite is above all else an educational institution. Throughout its history it has stood as a beacon on the shores of ignorance. Instruction about the great ideal of morality, philosophy, religion and philanthropy permeates our ritual and our writings, unencumbered by sectarian doctrine.       We have sought, not to teach men the truth, but rather a way to the truth. Each must find it for himself. We seek only to be a guide - teaching the common ground of various philosophical and religious approaches to belief in order that men might be more united in their standards of right and wrong and their understanding of the reality of GOD..."
