Right. Assuming you and I have applied the learning, what do we do now?Well If we applied what we learned through our degrees, maybe... Just maybe.. it could rid this negative attention to our order.
It's sad that in 2015 we still have brothers that continue primitive thinking and ways of conducting business.
It's not just PHA brother, how do you know if a brother is PHA or mainstream if y'all never talk ?I agree that ALL men are brothers. My state of Kentucky recognizes PH Masonry and they recognize us but we still do not have visitation rights with each other.
I still don't understand the point of recognition without visitation. What are they recognizing? That each other exists? The right of visitation is an ancient landmark. If I can't visit your lodge and you can't visit mine, do we really recognize each other?I agree that ALL men are brothers.

Recognition grants the ability for foreign jurisdictions to recognize both lodges operating in the same territory. It also allows masons of both GL's to speak masonically without fear of being expelled (confirmation needed)I still don't understand the point of recognition without visitation.

PHA masonry in states such as GA must be recognized by its GA counterpart before the UGLE will recognize GA PHA. I believe this is the case for any foreign jurisdiction.
Visutation is specifically not a right in Utah.I still don't understand the point of recognition without visitation. What are they recognizing? That each other exists?
