Your "vs" title bothers me. In general Shriners and Freemasons are of one mind and brotherhood. There is no enmity between individuals. But, as you know the GL in Arkansas is a total mess. Officially, Shriners are shunned. Some Lodges permit Shriners to attend tiled meetings. Some will not. As far as I know, Arkansas is still the only state that permits Shrine membership without also being a Mason. I understand the current GL line is attempting to correct things. Hope it happens. My situation is, several years ago I demitted out of the Arkansas Lodge where I was raised many years ago and joined my current Lodge in Missouri. My Shrine center (temple) is in Arkansas. I get different responses when I ask if I would be permitted to sit in my old Arkansas (and hometown) Lodge. Sad. I have never tried to attend because I do not relish the possibility I might be turned away.
