THE UNITED SUPREME COUNCIL

Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Prince Hall Affiliation

Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A

PRINCE HALL CREDO

 

I believe in God, the Grand Architect of the Universe.

 

The Alpha of the un-reckoned yesterdays,

the Omega of the impenetrable tomorrows.

The Beginning and the Ending.

 

I believe in man, potentially God’s other self.

Often faltering on his way upward,

but irrepressible in the urge to scale the spiritual Annapurna’s.

 

I believe in Free Masonry;

that corporate adventure in universal brotherhood,

despising kinship with no child of the All Father.

 

I believe in Prince Hall Masonry;

a door of benevolence, securely tiled against the unworthy,

but open wide to men of good rapport, whether Aryan or Hottentots.

 

I believe in Masonic Vows;

the troths of true men, plighted to their better selves.
