Introducing Tolerance Tuesday: A Weekly Reflection on One of Freemasonry’s Greatest Virtues
In a world that often rushes to judgment and thrives on division, Freemasonry offers a quieter, nobler path, one paved with understanding, patience, and respect. At the heart of that path lies a virtue we hold dear: tolerance.
Not tolerance as mere politeness. Not tolerance as passive silence. But tolerance as an active, deliberate choice to honor the dignity of others...even when we disagree. It’s the kind of tolerance that builds bridges, not walls. That listens before speaking. That sees the divine spark in every person, regardless of creed, background, or belief.
Welcome to Tolerance Tuesday.
Each week, we’ll explore this foundational Masonic principle, not as an abstract ideal, but as a living practice. Through stories, symbols, reflections, and challenges, we’ll ask:
What does tolerance look like in today’s world?
How do we embody it in our Lodges, our homes, and our communities?
And how can we, as Masons, can be beacons of unity in times of division?
Whether you’re a seasoned Brother or simply curious about the values we uphold, this series is for you. It’s a space to reflect, to grow, and to recommit to the work of building a more understanding world...one Tuesday at a time.
So, let’s begin. Let’s make tolerance more than a word in our ritual. Let’s make it a habit, a legacy, a light.
See you next Tuesday.
