Community & Charity
What Masons do in the world. Ceremony, service, and relief.
What the Craft does outside the Lodge door. The published charities (Knights Templar Eye Foundation, KTEdF, Royal Arch Research Assistance, Cryptic Masons Medical Research Foundation, Shriners Hospitals for Children, the Shrine Transportation Fund, the Texas Scottish Rite Take Flight Dyslexia Program, plus the Masonic Charities Foundation of New Mexico working through Lodges in their local communities) paired with the personal charity each Mason owes his neighbor under the rule "love thy neighbour as thyself." Plus the public-facing ceremonies (funeral, installation, cornerstone, procession) at which the Craft meets the world.
