what does the anchor and ark symbolise in the royal ark mariner degree and do writers agree on it
In the Craft, the anchor and ark are explained as symbols of hope and safety. Saint Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews provided the early Christian source for the anchor as a symbol of an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, amidst a stormy life voyage. The combination of the anchor and ark passed from Christian tomb inscriptions into Masonic usage to emblemize that hope which carries the voyager safely into port.

what is the craft position on religion according to the 1723 constitutions
The First Charge of the 1723 Constitutions, titled "Concerning God and Religion," replaced the specifically Christian obligations of older manuscript charges with a requirement to observe the moral law. Instead of adhering to particular denominational tenets, members are charged only to hold "that Religion in which all Men agree," defined as being good, true, honourable, and honest, while leaving specific religious opinions to each brother. This framework was established as a center of union to reconcile men who would otherwise remain at a perpetual distance.
