Grand College of Rites

[BullDozer Harrell]

Are there any Brothers who belong to this organization in Mississippi?

I'm curious about membership for Prince Hall Masons?

"Membership (termed “Fellow”) in the Grand College of Rites, may be obtained by application of any Master Mason holding membership and in good standing in a regular symbolic Lodge recognized by a majority of the Grand Lodges of Freemasonry in the United States."

What Brother Glen said.

I'm a member, mainly because I like what they do. By being a member you get a copy of their yearly transactions edited by Brother Hoyos, but that's more or less it. They have their meeting at Masonic week, but don't think there is much to it.

Could you tell me a little about it?

They maintain the rites that are not used in the U.S. any longer..such as Memphis Misrim(sp). As a member you have access to these rituals

Their website is probably best to refer to http://grandcollegeofrites.org/

But basically they are "dedicated to preserving the history and rituals of defunct and inactive Masonic orders." Dues are 35 dollars a year, and I think that's a pretty good price for the book we get.

Brother Glen, i appreciate your answer. Honestly i do.
But in view of the current situation in MS regarding non-fraternal relations between GLs there, i was thinking that maybe it spills over into all things Masonic related?
Even though the Grand College of Rites isn't technically the GL of MS.

Id go with that capitalized word...since only 9 southern states dont recognize PHA id say that PHA is recognized by a MAJORITY of of the US GLs

I am not chair of JP for that body, but as the majority's GLs find you regular as expressed by the CGMA Commission, I'd go for it
