Education is a key part of activity for brothers so that they may learn to align ever more closely with the values of Unity.
Where better to start your education than with the alphabet?
Brothers are encouraged to learn the Alphabet of Values and, after gathering in the morning to say their daily pledge, they are tested regularly by an Instructor. The Instructor reads out a single letter to each brother in turn and the brother steps forward smartly and proudly declares all the values that start with that letter.
Every brother learns the whole alphabet as follows...
