I'm sorry but you are getting confused. You cannot be issued a certificate from the Grand Lodge of England unless (like me) you are a member of a Lodge under the Grand Lodge of England. On completion of your third degree you will be presented with a Master Mason's certificate from the Grand...

I've taken this out of the other topic as it would derail things but I am quite concerned and would really like some clarification regarding the comment below: Is this accurate? Or is it just a bit of confusion from a newly minted Master mason?

Well it means that the fashion of aprons worn at its meetings is at the discretion of your Lodge itself as your Grand Lodge has not issued guidance. It would be time to have a chat with the Master and Secretary to see what their feelings are as you shouldn't try to "pirate" it but get acceptance...

Based on the fact that mine does, your own Grand Lodge will probably specify the accepted style (size, shape material, colour etc) of apron that can be worn so just check your Book of Constitution before buying anything.

Hi Moroni, You should make contact with the Grand Secretary of your own Grand Lodge to seek advice on visiting Lodges abroad and how to make arrangements to do so. He will be able to confirm what you will need to visit here. You do not list which Grand Lodge you are affiliated to but it will...

David Icke seems to know FAR too much, doesn't he? I wonder which Lodge he is a member of?

Bryan is referring to "The Operatives", aka The Worshipful Society of Free Masons, Rough Masons, Wallers, Slaters, Paviors, Plaisterers and Bricklayers. http://www.operatives.org.uk/

Under the UGLE a Lodge can decide the length of time (anything from 6 months up to 2 years) that it will trust its members to be in arrears and at that point it would exclude them from membership under Rule 181 BoC. However, if an English Mason is 2 years in arrears he is automatically...

Hello

Let me put it to you this way, next time will be better as you will not have quite such high expectations and they will have seen your face before. Social interaction is social interaction whether it's connected to a Lodge of Freemasons or not. The fraternal bonds that we have do not just...

Ahh it seems to be a piece based upon the Lectures of the Craft compiled by William Preston (1742 - 1818). He dedicated much of his time between 1765 to 1772 travelling among English Lodges and compiling the Craft working that had been passed down orally and finally published his work...

That's a new one on me! I don't suppose there is somewhere that I can read through it? Mike

You won't find the statement online as it pre-dates today's widespread use of the Internet but I can guarantee you that it is genuine. However, you must be careful because the statement does NOT extend to the Co-Masons (your original topic) of Le Droit Humain as that organisation fails the...

Oops I (belatedly) see Raymond has already picked that up

Sorry to be picky but can I just correct the terminology here. Internet Lodge No. 9659 is not "recognised by the UGLE" it is a Lodge warranted by the UGLE.

Under the UGLE, if we know someone well enough and we believe that he would make a good Freemason but has not shown any interest we are allowed to say to him that "we think that he may enjoy joining a Lodge". If he doesn't express a preference either way we are allowed to remind him of the fact...

Sadly the preamble is incorrect! All legitimate Grand Lodges in the world do not have a direct lineage to the Grand Lodge of London (later Premier of England). There are many Grand Lodges that came from Lodges under the Grand Lodges of Ireland and Scotland not to mentione the Antients Grand...

It may be easier if you tell us the name of the Grand Lodge that your Lodge is under and we can tell you if it is recognised by our Grand Lodges.

The best way is tomake contact with your own Grand Secretary who will help you to make your arrangements by contacting the Grand Lodge that is recognised by your own.

IF what you are saying is accurate, you should consider yourself honour-bound to raise it both with his Proposer and the Master of the Lodge immediately.
