The Autonomous Order of the Modern and Perfecting Rite of Symbolic Masonry (A∴O∴M∴P∴R∴S∴M∴)

“An open invitation to a specific Freemasonic and existential path. “

By Dr. Nicolas Laos – The Autonomous Order of the Modern and Perfecting Rite of Symbolic Masonry advocates stern scholarly integrity and aims to historicize Freemasonry in order to create Freemasons capable of improving themselves and the world within the context of history, by becoming polymaths and morally responsible persons. Indeed, the rituals, the catechisms, and the lectures of the Modern and Perfecting Rite of Symbolic Masonry are carefully crafted to provide its members with an interdisciplinary program of intellectual development and with a method for developing moral consciousness.

I invented the Modern and Perfecting Rite of Symbolic Masonry (in my mother Greek language: “Νεωτερικός και Τελεσιουργικός Τύπος του Συμβολικού Τεκτονισμού”), and gave it this name, in order to fuse Freemasonry, the spiritual core of modernity, and a vision of humanity’s perfection into a consistent, secular, scholarly rigorous, historically aware, politically responsible, humanistic, and rational Order of Symbolic Masonry.
