Here Rip... it's linked off this url and is short. It is an excellent article and really clarified my thinking on regularity and the Sovereignty of GLS..

Yes. Indeed it is.The article by Bro Karen Kidd titled "Am I regular" changed my thinking on regularity- it's relatively.
Heck no. But it certainly helps when your inner man is moral.LOL... Short and sweet.
So are all are moral duties purely concerned with the inner man Coach?
( and I can see your next response.... a single "no"..... )
I just read the article my take is, looking at her point of view she has every right to call herself a "regular" mason as far as her jurisdiction.
In my jurisdiction I would not be able to sit in lodge or have any type of Masonic intercourse with her. Violation of 18th landmark and my OB of a MM.

Nope. GL(insert state here) Masons are not allowed in their meetings. In fact, while they are renting the facility we aren't even allowed past the front office.Where the split is, is that if i wanted to ignore my obligation, i could go to their meetings and they would let me in, but not vice versa.
It's simple. You must continuously own your division for it to be universally valid.I agree and disagree. While we can't tell other people they are clandestine we also don't call brothers/lodges within our jurisdictions clandestine...we tell brothers/lodges within our jurisdictions who, outside, our jurisdictions are/nt clandestine.

Yes, it seems like the word clandestine more than often misused. Where the word recognition, recognized should be used instead of clandestine. As Regularity is determined by each of our own Masonic Jurisdictions. At our next district council meeting, I'll ask our GM or his representatives what is their definition of a clandestine mason or made mason as the Grand Lodge defines it.

YesDo American Freemasons use the word "amity" ? ....
I'm just as lost as you, and will leave this thread more confused.
It's less confusing when you realize the word "Brother" is used as a title, not a gender designator associated with siblings.I'm just as lost as you, and will leave this thread more confused.

However, if you can't get past the latter, the former will never be understood much less accepted.
