I've experienced this frustration when traveling. You might call the GL and obtain the phone number for the Secretary.

UGLE did not grant a charter in 1996. Some jurisdictions also require a belief in the immortality of the soul. Having dealt with recognition issues, I am unaware of ritual differences and practices within a lodge ever being a recognition barrier. Citation? It is not my experience that all...

I am. I enjoy the lesson the degree teaches.

The Call for the Annual Session should be in your recorder's office. The following descriptions are taken from the Jurisprudence note, but any error is mine. Amongst items on you will wish to give input to your representatives: 1. A member in good standing of the Colorado Corporation...

As indicated, the leadership has changed and the organization is no longer under the control of the appointed government administrator. This was a difficult period for my GLNF brethren, and we should be very happy this is beginning to turn around. There will still need to be rapprochement...

A Temple was chartered for Europe. We carved out England from the jurisdiction. See http://emiratshriners.org. The UK Shrine Club is still extant with clubs at Lakenheath/Mildenhall (Anglia), London and Dartford. You can find them at aahmes.org clubs, United Kingdom.

Belated correction: we do have the Shrine in England. I came down and helped with a ceremonial at the Russell Hotel. The summation is not entirely accurate. I was on the Committee which heard the appeal of the Shriner.

I jumped in posting, and later saw the request for introduction. Acacia Lodge 17, St. Andrew's Lodge 34, Tintic Lodge 9, F&AM of Utah Sentinel 4707, UGLE Daylight 542 AF&AM of the State of Oklahoma Various appendant bodies

That's a disappointment to you I'm sure. It is good you found out at an early stage and can still look forward to a long life in the craft.

Utah has two copies of the clear text: one in the safe and one with the Grand Lecturer (custodian of the work).

That was an unsuccessful attempt to post an image of the Home GL's letter on the subject.

I'd encourage a review of the charge of this degree. As it was once the final degree, I the charge sums up my view of the craft.

I attended your Grand Lodge a year and a half ago. Terrific time and LOTS of food.

I'm not as well traveled as some (I think 12 jurisdictions in the US and seven outside), but I've never found admission a particular issue (conceding that being an invited guest on occasion is a benefit ). US signs aren't a problem and the Test Oath I've never found markedly different. Also...

Are you indicating we should all have the same ritual? I should think that a great loss. In the last few years we lost a time immemorial lodge in Cheshire which had its own ritual. I found it was like loosing a language.

It would be the current GM's call. I would approve of this again today if he were to consult me.

Err, that should "Mason at sight", though the statement made is accurate as well. :)

No, I didn't tile the room when I conferred the degree and a GM in Utah does not have the power to make a GM at sight.

Well, confirmation that there are many variations and it is dangerous to say we always do one thing or the other as Masons
