1. The political beliefs and practices of individual Masons, do no enter into the picture. Masonry is “blind” to these differences.
2. There is no influence of any kind. Masonry avoids any political involvement.
3. Race/Ethnicity have no bearing at all on Masonry. I have attended lodge with Asians, African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and men whose ethnic background was totally unknown to me.
