The Tau and the Cross in Masonry

Submitted by R.W. Br. Jules Wood

I got reading a very interesting book, full of profund reflections about Masonry. Written by Brother Reverend John George Gibson, The Masonic Problem (it is so entitled) seemed to me very actual, although it has been printed in 1912 in England. I took from that book and some others the basics of my ten different discourses I deliver at the occasion of my Official Visits during the present year. I found there the inspiration requested by the following, short thoughts about the sigificance of the Tau and the Cross in Masonry, that I communicate you today.

Le principe Tolérance
by/par T.V. Fr. Jacques Ruelland
La règle d'or de la conduite est la tolérance mutuelle, car nous ne penserons jamais tous de la même façon, nous ne verrons qu'une partie de la vérité et sous des angles différents.
Gandhi, Tous les hommes sont frères (1).

L'humanisme de la Renaissance se fonde sur une vision individualiste de l'être humain, laquelle génère l'idée de tolérance et, conséquemment, celles de liberté, d'égalité et de démocratie. Toutefois, l'individualisme, lorsqu'il érige l'individu en dieu, mène à l'égoïsme ; il devient alors indispensable d'imposer des limites à la tolérance, car on tombe désormais dans les excès de l'égocentrisme et de la tyrannie.

The Mosaic Pavement

By R.W. Bro. O.P. Thomas and W.Bro. R.C. Simpson, Sherwood Lodge #183; Published in GRAND LODGE BULLETIN; GRA, February 1979.

In "The Builders" Newton opens with these words: "Two arts have altered the face of the earth and given shape to the life and thought of man, Agriculture and Architecture." It is difficult to tell which has been more intimately interwoven with the inner life of humanity. Man is not only a planter and a builder, but a mystic and a thinker. On further thought into the origin and initial force which carried art forward two fundamental factors appear - necessity and spiritual aspiration.
