Master Mason Proficiency

Ours are $50 petition fee (back round check). Then $140 covers all 3 degrees, Bible and lambskin apron (presented at raising). And year of dues. Proficiency not required, but if done in open lodge you get a certificate from GL.
Is it "real" lambskin? Ours were more like a cheap vinyl or Naugahyde.

There really is no FULL self governance granted by Grand Lodge. They step in when the cause suits them (usually with regard to finances or money) and prefer to "ignore" when there is no monetary vested interest for them.
Okay, but that wasn't the issue being discussed. The issue being discussed, was:

The other way to view it is that the GL allows Lodges to govern themselves.

The positive view is that there is diversity. Which inconsistency bothers you?

Back when I was raised we got mastodon aprons because sheep had not yet been domesticated. ;^)

AND upwind each way. Or was it uphill? No, gotta be upwind because I'm older than dirt and the hills are made of dirt. ;^)
