Question....If and when the PHGLoTX and the GLoTX begin to allow intervisitation....what new stipulations do you think will be added to the current compact we already have?
I am pleased to present a copy of the 2007 Mutual Recognition Compact between the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas and the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas.
This document was rather difficult to obtain, but it is in fact the actual compact signed by both Grand Lodges in 2007.

People are already switching and these ideas seem to indicate fear of the trend increasing. I feel only unhappiness would lead a person to change affiliations but we are only looking to learn from each other. These types of ideas would perpetuate the current divide.

Not to hijack the thread, but I wonder why PHA prohibits dual/plural membership. What might be the reasoning behind this rule?

Our current sitting Deputy Grand Master, who will (tradition prevailing, blah blah blah) be installed as Grand Master next Saturday, is also a member of a Prince Hall Lodge.Bro Lins...some PHA jurisdictions allow dual membership with the GLoState
Bro Neumann,
I have seen the compact and am very glad you shared it because I had wondered for years what it actually said...the stipulations that i'm referring, and this is just an example, is not being able to participate in certain degree work such as raisings which is what happens in NJ..also, to deter members from leaving either GL, one would have to start over from an EA..these are some amendments that I think would be added in the new compact. ..your thoughts?
