    Freemasonry

    There is absolutely no way to find out the answer to such a question. Being master masons does not mean that we have a "hive mind" approach to life,love and the universe, as mentioned before eaxgh of us is an individual. There are soem questions that you could get an answer to for example: Do...

    France's return to the fold.

    It wasn't meant as an accusation so please don't take it as one, it was a question based on the fact that you already knew all there was to know.

    What is 'clandestine'?

    It is not dampened as such, there are plenty of Appendant Orders here but they just haven't grown the same intertwined relationship with the Craft as they have in the US and some European countries. For example it seems that in America many Freemasons think that the Scottish Rite is as old as...

    What is 'clandestine'?

    OK I sit corrected there are three Shrine Clubs that doesn't really support the idea of "the Shrine" being in England. It also does not correct my original statement that over here Appendant Bodies are kept at arms length from Freemasonry, hence why they can not cause the problems as...

    What is 'clandestine'?

    Hi Glen, that is not really a "correction" is it? A few english Masons started a Shrine Club and did want to start a European "Temple", however, as far as I know the Temple fell through and the Club has become inactive.

    France's return to the fold.

    You've just detailed what the problem was, I've already told you that it has stopped, so I don't see what it is you're looking for. Unless you're looking for some gossip which of course is not a Masonic thing to seek.

    France's return to the fold.

    I'm not too sure what you're trying to imply. There were no concessions, the GLNF has just returned to practising regular Freemasonry. You will easily find the details all around the Internet regarding why recognition was removed in the first place.

    Grand Loge Nationale Francais

    I am very pleased to share that I have just been present at the UGLE's Quarterly Communications where we voted on the proposition to once again recognise the GLNF. The vote was positive.

    Great Lodge of England.

    Ohh I missed some! 1) As to the original poster's comment there is no organisational link between ANY of the three Grand Lodges operating within the United Kingdom and the Royal Family. ALSO 2) Neither the UGLE nor the GLoS have a person who is a "Patron of the Craft". Thye UGLE's charities...

    Great Lodge of England.

    There are presently Three Royals on the Rolls of the Grand Lodge of England: The Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent and Prince Michael of Kent. There have been some strange stories about the Duke of Edinburgh over the years but we were all very pleased when he celebrated the 60th...

    Not yet a Mason

    If you're waiting for an interview that would suggest that you already have a Proposer to ask questions of, so you should do so. He should be able to point you to information that is relevant to the Freemasonry where you are and also your prospective Lodge.

    Lions Club

    As Ryan says, look them up in your phone book and if there's one near you give them a call.

    Lions Club

    Lions are an unrelated organisation to Freemasonry. However, it would be quite possible for someon to join both.
