You never know. There may be potentials out there who are married and would like to do co-masonry together or there may be people that see rules differently than others. Whatever the reason I would imagine some of them may come upon this post and shoot you a personal message. The more temples built the better!Question, I have been looking around the web a bit to find mixed and female only organisations. I could post this somewhere as guide for inquiring people. Do you think this could be helpfull for people (women and men) looking for information or could this seem proselytistic by board members who are regular Freemasons?
I have never heard that term "co-Masonry". What does it mean?I actually found this forum when searching the world wide web for a Masonic forum that also includes co-Masonry, but I have no idea if there are many co-Masons here. I am a member of a very small, Dutch order since last May.
And by GLs in amity with UGLECo-Masonry refers to Lodges that admit both men and women. Yes, they are considered clandestine by Lodges who owe their allegiance to the UGLE.
Thanks. I would never have anything to do with such a "co-mason" organization. Not Masons, IMHO.Co-Masonry refers to Lodges that admit both men and women. Yes, they are considered clandestine by Lodges who owe their allegiance to the UGLE.
I don't know where you get your info but it is very wrong.There's a lot of irregular male Freemasonry too. France (I believe) had no regular Freemasonry for centuries until recently
Citation??... in Belgium only a minority of the Freemasons are regular. ...
Sounds right.So to be accurate:
At a distance from the original Free and Accepted Masons there are lots of different forms of irregular Freemasonry which have sprung up over the last 140 or so years.
The one thing that they have in common is that they have copied elements (including its name) of the original.
I don't know where you get your info but it is very wrong.
The Grand Orient of France was a normal, regular Grand Lodge until 1877 when it removed the requirement for its members to believe in God. Up to this point it had been in fraternal harmony with the UGLE having been formed by Lodges that were under the Premier Grand Lodge of England.
You might have got away with saying "decades" rather than "centuries" as the French National Grand Lodge was not formed until 36 years later (1913) thereby returning regular Freemasonry to the French Brethren that craved it.
I think you meant GLNF!Very interesting article about the appearance of UGLE.
Yes. Sorry.I think you meant GLNF!
