Master Craftsman Guild
MASTER CRAFTSMAN GUILD OBJECTIVE
The Master Craftsman Guild of Springfield Lodge No. 217 is an organization of
Master Masons who are sincerely interested in learning more about what Freemasonry
is teaching the individual. The work of the Master Craftsman Guild supplements
that of the Blue Lodge.
The ULTIMATE GOAL of a Master Craftsman is to transfer his Rough Ashlar into
a Perfect Ashlar. This is to be accomplished by attaining a virtuous education
(Masonic Teachings), his own endeavors, and the blessing of GOD.
The Master Craftsman's path consists of three more Masonic steps:
1. A SEARCH for the lesson contained within the Masonic Symbol
2. An INTERPRETATION of that lesson to fit a personal need
3. The APPLICATION of that lesson in daily living.
The three (3) Masonic Steps are thus:
1. SEARCH
2. INTERPRET
3. APPLY
The Logo of a Master Craftsman is: "PMA," which translates to: "PERSONAL
MASONIC ACTION"
