    No mixed vouchers?

    I should add, my observations apply to the Grand Lodge of Texas.

    No mixed vouchers?

    You need two masons who are members of the lodge you want to join to vouch for you. You also need to list three references who are Masons. I can't see why the references can't be members of the MWPHGLOT. It is a recognized Grand Lodge, even if we can't visit. Probably a good subject for a...

    A bridge to light

    A Bridge to Light is a sort of "Cliff Notes" to summarize the Scottish Rite degrees as practiced in the Southern Jurisdiction, together with Morals and Dogma. By itself, BtL isn't particulary valuable. But to someone who has taken the Scottish Rite degrees in the Southern Jurisdiction, it...

    Mexico City

    One to avoid is the Grand Lodge "Valle de Mexico". Although it has regular origins, it has been violating the sovereignty of it's neighboring grand lodges (including Texas) and a lot have withdrawn fraternal relations.

    on display in the Lodgeroom

    It's worth asking whether this lodge owned their building, or were renting space from another body, such as a Scottish Rite valley.

    on display in the Lodgeroom

    No, subsequent action by Grand Lodge made it acceptable for a Muslim to use a Koran on the altar.

    on display in the Lodgeroom

    I may be completely imagining this rule, but part of the point was that OES portraits weren't displayed.

    on display in the Lodgeroom

    I have some recollection of reading a rule that only portraits of Past Masters and George Washington can be displayed in a Lodgeroom. But I can't find it in the law anywhere. Am I crazy?

    Falsely claiming masonic membership?

    In the GLoTx, there is no process for "healing" someone initiated in a clandestine lodge. The only available route is for the man to sever all ties with the clandestine body, and start over from scratch by petitioning a lodge belonging to the GLoTx. Can anybody inform us whether any of the...

    The Secret Teachings Of All Ages

    No, Hall makes no attempt to offer sources. Frankly, I'm convinced half of what he says in that book he made up himself.

    The Grand Lodge of New York has a dozen or so lodges in Lebanon under the department titled "District Grand Lodge of Syria-Lebanon". The Grand Lodge of Scotland has six, organized as the "District Grand Lodge of Lebanon". Those are listed here...

    Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lodges

    Re: Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lod Okay...I assume you were answering my last question about affiliation and transfer of membership. Was that stuff discussed and rejected, or was it not brought up at all? Tom Ball 33* PM 1173, 1010

    Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lodges

    Re: Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lod You all vote on resolutions without seeing them in writing? Perhaps you could describe what it said? Did it instruct your committee on Fraternal Relations to take particular actions, or did it offer a specific textual amendment to the compact?

    Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lodges

    Re: Visitation Between Prince Hall and Regular Lod I'm beginning to wonder why we can't see the text of what was supposedly passed at the PH MidWinter concerning visitation. We've been posting the details of everything that happened at Waco...is there some reason we're not aware of that this...

    Regarding PHA members

    Some of them write their own charter. Some of them are quite beautifully executed.
