Sometimes it seems like God has fallen out of favor. Almost daily we read
of attacks on religion and the religious. Moral beliefs are ridiculed. It has gotten
to the point that some schools will not even allow the "Pledge of Allegiance" to be
recited because it includes the name of God.
There are men who take pride in their belief in God. Though they worship in different
ways and are members of different faiths, they are united in their unswerving faith in
the one God of all creation. These are men who believe God guides us along the path of
moral and ethical behavior. These are men who believe character does matter. These are
men who are not ashamed to say, "My hope is in God".
Who are these men? They are 32º Freemasons.
