Interpreting Masonic Ritual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780761868606)

Interpreting Masonic Ritual endeavors to addresses the depth of the ritualistic experience through a discussion of what ritual means to man as well as what man means to ritual. Ritual teaches us about reality but we will not come to a full understanding of it if we disparage what others do and view their actions from a position of pseudo-intellectual or cultural superiority.

Ritual is the core of Freemasonry and is that thing which sets it apart from so many organizations. It is the key to the Freemason's "secrets" and the manner through which they transmit our "beautiful system of morality." It is something to be treasured, maintained, taught, elevated, evaluated, and, above, reinforced through proper performance, decorum, and setting.
