I almost didn't read that, but Texas is a large GL and there is always a twist to the usual.... so I kept going.. but then I read his conclusion. Nice work !

@phljo3 Good advice above. I have been a Freemason for 20 years, joining was one of the best decisions you have made. I would not join the group your father did, sounds like something irregular goes on in that group.

Same @Winter ... I only made it half way thought but will try to come back to it.. I think there is a difference between attempted suicide and suicide. Certainly interviewing a person who attempts suicide vrs actually commits suicide can be relied upon to collect very different and size of...

We have a Grand Pursuivant. He does the ceremonial role as described but also acts as an admin sec and organiser in the Team.

Oooh...i thought of one here where the organ is in centre north - Main Lodge room No 1 at Prahran in Melbourne.... and the door there is in the Sth West which is the usual location for our organ....

Well there you go. Our organs are in the West and almost always South West. indeed, I cannot think of a lodge room where it's been anywhere else. except the South West except where the door is there like at Sovereign Hill Historical Park. it's the only example I can think of where it is in the...

So you are saying there is no conffered rank of any sort in the Regular GLs in the United States of America (Craft) ?

Making assumptions is always fraught with risk.. but I assume the Deacon Aprons are District GL of Essex in Dress and Undress regalia. Does the Dress and Undress have a correpsonding collar for each ? Do you own them or are the owned by the DGL ?

Greetings and welcome from Australia !

Good advice above. You definately need to check with your GL, but there are quite a number of lodges there.. They meet weekly..

In-ter-esting... That makes sense.. but I was not sure, so I thought I would check if our Constitution says something on this (because I do not know)..... and there are other bodies and the GM who could regulate this... but I found "399. The apron of a Master or Past Master shall be similar to...

Hello Bro. For what's is worth, knowing a little of you both, I did not see it as an attack.. In all instances I would ask a Brother to forgive. All family have misunderstandings, include the Brotherhood of Freemasonry.. Families don't say together if they cannot forgive the things which should...

Generally, you might like to see some of the regalia we wear here https://www.ghlilley.com.au/pages/masonic-fraternal-regalia

Agree. This thread not something I can constructively or meaningfully respond to.

Hello Bro Thanks for your question. Commenting in old threads can be controversial. Some have strong views on it either way. I do see an issue with it when replying to people who have left the forum. There are different etiquettes on different forums AND with different users. My personal...

Thanks @Brother JStoffo Read Both. Anderson's and Dermotts Constitutions also make interesting reading. I was actually re-reading the Regius Manuscript just the other day. As to the Hiram Key (Kight and Lomas) , it is an intellectual house of cards.

So Mote it Be !

I think this has been resolved by posts above. As an aside in Australia you rarely hear "Obedience"- more commonly "Constitution" or "Grand Lodge" or "Jurisdiction". Seeing the word "Obedience" does not trigger concern in me. I've also learned "Grand Orient" and "Most Regular Grand Lodge" can...

That's great news. I have not been able to try him as my schedule and time zones had not worked out. Thank you so much for reaching out to him Bro @coachn

Our GLs don't use the Letter G, but many lodges do as does our art.
