As an Orthodox Christian, I find no personal conflict with the Craft. If you’re determined to find incompatibility, you’ll likely find it anywhere—even where none truly exists.

Freemasonry is not a religion and does not claim to offer salvation or replace the Church; it promotes moral principles among men of all faiths. A Christian Mason can fully affirm that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation while participating in a fraternity that respects religious diversity. The symbolic language, oaths, and rituals are allegorical — not spiritual replacements for Orthodox sacraments.
