When was the masonic creed adopted by the masons?
A creed is a statement of faith or beliefs, coming from the
Latin word "credo" meaning "I believe" which is the first word in
the Latin version of the Apostles' Creed. There is no "masonic
creed" because masons do not have a set of beliefs which are common
to all of them. (Every Mason has his own set of beliefs of course)
The Masonic Order does have principles on which it is founded as
all organizations do, but these are not beliefs.
