Ok, you are a voting member of the Grand West. We have the ability to have visitation with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas, F&AM. The doors are tiled and the vote it to be taken. I want to know would you allow the visitation between the two.

Please everyone Vote. I honestly would like to see if this would go over. It is totally anonymous so vote how you really feel.

i don't think we have a good representation of texas masonry on these forums, so the voting might be a bit biased.

that being said, i voted yes.

The Prince Hall Grand Lodge has not asked us to allow the visitation.

That is not correct or at least from what I have been told. PHGL was looking for full recognition from us to pursue recognition with another GL not sure which but I believe it was across the pond point being they came to us with a compact approved by their GL that requested full recognition including visitation. I have yet to be able to find the compact signed and I know I will never get the original so I see know real way of knowing this is true or not expect for to take the Mason who told me at his word.

Even if the PHGL had not asked what would it hurt us to even if it breaks tradition in the since the new guy has to ask. There is no law saying we cannot ask. Plus if we do not start covering ourselves on this issue we might find ourselves held liable for something crazy in this "politically correct sue your butt off" world we live in.

Or the very least be able to have military lodges on base, not demit because of some ubiquitous clause during the federal judge screening process and a whole lot of other public/political offices.

And those are just starters... VBG

I'm wondering if any of the (at present) eight who voted "no", will ever have the guts to try to defend their position.

Besides, all it takes is for one GL to ask. I'd really like to think that it would be embarrassing for either GL to turn the other away.
