Again, doctrines of salvation are the province of a church, not a fraternity. It's important to remember that any Masonic author writes for himself alone, not as an official of the Masonic Fraternity. Masonry simply does not have a position, official or otherwise, on salvation. Since men of all faiths are welcome in Freemasonry, Masons are careful not to offend the faith of any. Possibly, that may seem to be universalism to some critics.
Masons call it common courtesy.
Masonry is not a whites-only organization, as the hundreds of thousands of Black, Native American, Hispanic, and Oriental Masons all over the world can testify. The petition for Masonic membership does not ask the race of the petitioner, and it would be considered completely wrong to do so. At the same time, Masonry in America, like churches and society in general, has not lived up to its teaching of brotherhood as well as it should. That is changing, in Masonry as in society. Clearly, Freemasonry is compatible with religion.
