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...

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.

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

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

That's not intended as an answer by the way just some extra

Have you read this paper, it may tickle your fancy: http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/biblical-masonic-solomon-temple.html

As Glen mentions here in England it is incredibly rare for one Lodge to own their own building. It is more common for a group or groups of Lodges to have bought and now jointly own a building which they then often rent out to other users (including non/Masonic ones) in order to pay the bills...

That's why I thought he may be confusing the names but that isn't the case.

Yeah a BS, made up Grand Lodge.

Never heard of it until reading your post right now, so incredibly unlikely to be actually "regular". In fact I suspect you may be mixing up the name of it as I can't actually find a reference to any such Grand Lodge in France.

I think you maybe should maybe consider that the laws of the Grand Lodge of Texas are not the same as those of the UGLE, and that some of us are well-versed in them. For instance: "Art. 379, Masons of Other Grand Jurisdictions: A Master Mason, in good standing, a member of a lodge under the...

While this may be true of the other Grand Lodges it is not correct with regard to the UGLE or GLoI or GLoS as we all have a recognition restriction that states: 5. That the Grand Lodge shall have sovereign jurisdiction over the Lodges under its control; i.e. that it shall be a responsible...

Initiation is when you first join a Lodge and become an Apprentice, when you are finally given the third degree that is described as raised.

I did try to politely illustrate it earlier but maybe I was being too subtle. The GOdF is an irrelevance in the wider world of Freemasonry which is why it will ally itself with anyone who it thinks will help to increase its possible sphere of influence.

No UGLE brother would ever show up unannounced at any Lodge (even our own) let alone one overseas as this would break the agreed Masonic protocol for visiting between Grand Lodges (check with your own Grand Secretary). If he has not been invited to attend by a member of the Lodge he will have...

I strongly suspect that you are wrong with the point above! The UGLE recognises both of the Texas Gradn Lodges which means they recognise us which means there is inter-visitation. If you have a document from your Grand Secretary that states this is not so please let me have a copy which I can...
