The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Romania is a path for each of us: the path of dignity, honor and pride to belong to the greatest Rite in our country.

We will walk this path, you and I, shoulder to shoulder, with our other brothers.

That way we could have the chance to join the gallery of honor opened by our illustrious forerunners. The chance to one day become "forerunners" for those who will inherit from us, at the end of our work, a strong Rite, respected, admired and, why not… envied!

As long as you know how to be respected in the place where you live, and each of us knows how to be respected where he lives, we will not remain only with the respect between us: The rite will be respected. Through each of us, the Rite and through the Rite, each of us!

I swore allegiance to our country, Romania. We will continue to serve our country through deeds, respecting its laws and tradition, supporting its values.

Respecting our Statute and Covenants, we will continue to express our faith, compassion, and charity through deeds.

Stelian Nistor, 33
