Greetings from an "irregular"

My Dear Br:.

I was initiated in the Grand Orient de France and am now integrated in the Grand Orient de Roumanie.
I would like to send you all my Triple Fraternal Accolade.

I registered on this forum because I would like to have debates with "regular" Br:. on the topic of regular vs. irregular in the sense of UGLE vs. GODF (dogmatic vs. adogmatic).

Thank you dear Br:.

To tell you the truth I did not expect so many answers on this thread. But they are indeed a pleasant surprise :)

Have to admit I chuckled when I read this...
At the end of the day we may not be able to converse masonically but it dosnt stop us from conversing.

Welcome to the forum. As has been mentioned, discussions of Regularity can be touchy. But done with a eye to remaining courteous can usually be interesting. I look forward to the topic.

The divergence of “Regular” masonry and that of the Grand Orient is an interesting bit of history, at this point it seems to be the dug in heels of our past that keeps the two sides seperate which is a shame as being able to unite under the one banner would really be a beautiful thing and given the context of the time it’s all very understandable.
That said much like Prince Hall masonry I’m sure the Grand Orient has a flavour all it’s own, it would really be beneficial to get to a point where we could operate in the same way we do with the OES.

It very well could actually. Freemason may "expand" out into other avenues.

First off, not all GOs are irregular, look at italy.

Second, OES was designed by american masons it has never been a separate obediance. Do you really think GOdF would accept that posistion? Take into account that not all regular GLs accept OES.

First of- given the OPs affiliation it’s safe to assume I’m not talking about Italy.

Can you clarify what you mean by “not a seperate obedience” as it sure ain’t regular blue lodge masonry, but as far as the GOdF it wouldn’t matter what they feel about it as we can only regulate our own policies, I’m not talking about mutual recognition and visitation, I’m talking about not prohibiting members from holding dual membership.
