THE GRAND LODGE
FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
gratefully presents this certificate to the Honourable Walid Kamal Joumblatt
The honourable Walid Kamal Joumblatt’s nurturing and magnanimous posture as a true Statesman during the most difficult of times in the Republic of Lebanon has left an indelible and indisputable positive impact and image upon the brethren of our noble order and this community.
The resolute qualities of understanding, service, and compassion demonstrated through his didactic and voluntary offering of service to our fellow brothers of the District Grand Lodge of Syria-Lebanon, holding under the grand lodge of free and accepted Masons of the State of New York, come easily from his warm, joyful and generous heart.
The humanitarian Albert Schweitzer has aptly said, “Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing”. With much gratitude and heartfelt appreciation, we delight in the good works performed by this kind and devoted servant and Statesman.
In Testimony whereof, we have caused the seal of the grand lodge to be hereto affixed, and have signed the same in the City of New York, in the United States of America, the third day of November 2022
R.W:. Richard Schulz
Grand Secretary
