Masons are men of faith. Reverence for the Divine Creator is the very foundation upon which the Masonic institution is built. Academia Lux Borealis recommends that any Mason or individual seeking greater knowledge and wisdom would do well to first read and study the sacred writings of their faith, and also consider reading and studying the sacred writings of other faiths.
