Hello all, I had sent a petition along with the due payment to a lodge where I had met all of the requirements. I live particularly far from this lodge and I am 19 years old. I had gradually grown more interested in this fraternal brotherhood and decided I would take it upon myself to petition for this particular lodge. Now, it has been a month so far, with no contact from the lodge, nor acceptance of my payment. So, I was wondering whether my age, location, etc. would have anything to do with their delay of acceptance or rejection? I am also wondering if it is usual for a lodge to take this long to accept petitions/payments or is the lodge just simply not in service? I have tried contacting this lodge to no avail. I am a very mature and hard-working teen and would like to enhance myself with the teachings of Freemasonry but, it is very hard to meet the requirements of most lodges being out of location and not knowing anyone to use as reference. Thank you to anyone who may help with the questions of a young aspiring brother.
