I visited a lodge in Augusta, Georgia and was required to show a current dues card and recite the Tyler's Oath. Being F. & A.M. their version of the oath was slightly different, but they had no problem accepting the version I put forth. The Tyler's Oath is really something all traveling brothers should know.you're correct, JS while the Tilers Oath is not a requirement, I sure do feel better after looking them in the eye, while their hand is upon the bible next to mine, and hearing my visiting Brother say, "and know of no just reason why I should be."
A dues card and ID is sort of business like... taking that oath & swearing before, "almighty God and these witnesses," puts a rather personal touch on it.
