The morality and symbolism taught in the St John degrees is the same as that of the Blue Lodge; in addition, Swedish Rite Master Masons and Master Masons elsewhere in the world are fully accepted as visitors in each other's lodges. That said, the layout of a St John's lodge-room and that of a Blue Lodge is entirely different, as is the ritual (excepting, of course, the word and grips of recognition, which are truly international). The central figure of the Master Mason's narrative is Adoniram rather than Hiram Abiff.
