Scottish Rite Cathedral

Goethe, a great Mason, said that talent may develop in solitude, but character is created in society. It is the fruit of fellowship. Genius may shine aloof and alone, like a star, but goodness is social, and it takes two men and God to make a Brother. We are tied together, seeking that truth which none may learn for another, and none may learn alone. No one of us is strong enough not to need companionship of good men and the consecration of great ideals. Here lies, perhaps, the deepest and value of Masonry, it is a fellowship of men seeking goodness, and yield ourselves to its influence, to be drawn into its spirit and quest, is to be made better than ourselves. The Scottish Rite owes its loyalty to the fundamental purpose and principles of Freemasonry that is expressed in this quest "to be made better than ourselves." It seeks to strengthen the community. It believes that each man should act in civil life according to his individual judgment and the dictates of his conscience. Here then is the story of a Cathedral built to serve this meaning of Masonry.
