Act by the Plumb | How Freemasonry builds upright men

Act by the Plumb | How Freemasonry builds upright men

Author: Juan Sepulveda June 7, 2022 Duration: 21:56

In order for a structure to be soundly built, it has to rest upon a solid level foundation. Otherwise, the higher it rises, the more unstable it becomes. In Freemasonry, we stand before our Brothers as an Upright Man and are instructed to act as such. Today, we will discuss what it means to be an upright man. What does it mean to act by the proverbial plumb. This and more on this episode of The Winding Stairs.
