- Transcription
The three disparate elements--religion (wisdom), stonemasons (strength) and Enlightenment (beauty)--provided a framework for Freemasonry to develop in the early 1700s. The biblical story of King Solomon's Temple, described in 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles, united these elements. Within a lodge, men of differing faiths accepted the Temple as a symbol from which respect and brotherly love could grow.
