Scottish Rite Goals The Scottish Rite's ultimate goal is mankind's moral, spiritual and intellectual development.  Our mission can be summarized as to seek that which is the most worth in the world.  To exalt the dignity of every person; the human side of our daily activities and the maximum service to humanity.  To aid mankind's search in God's Universe for idenity, for development, and for destiny; and thereby achieve a better world, happier men in a happier world, and wiser men in a wiser world. We learn our mission in a system of progressive degrees of instruction.  We teach our members the highest ethics, the wise expositions of philosophy and religion, and the blessings of charity.  Our personal conduct stems from the precepts of chivalry, the Ten  Commandments and the Golden Rule.  We carry out our mission in a series of spiritual, charitable and moral programs.  We make living, breathing, vital parts of our activities the recovery and maintance of moral standards and spiritaul values, the pride of patriotism and love of flag and country, the despensing of charity without regard to race,color or creed.     The Memphis Scottish Rite operates under the authority of the Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, headquartered in Washington, DC.  For a general introduction and more  information about the Scottish Rite, please see the Supreme Council's website HERE.
