    PHO vs PHA

    Just be sure not to put all of your eggs in that basket. Many discussions have been had with Bro. Roundtree about the inaccuracies in that book. I would hope that a researcher would agree that GL proceedings hold a little bit more weight.

L, and having reported to us that, at that session, the M.W.N.G.L. had removed some of the objections held against that body, and...

    PHO vs PHA

    "Of late years, however, so many of the State Grand Lodges have repudiated the authority of the National Compact, that, at its last communication, held March , 1873, in Philadelphia, a vote to dissolve the body failed by the following insignificant vote, viz: Yeas-States 7: members, 42;proxies...

    PHO vs PHA

    Here is the cliff notes version: The National Grand Lodge (NGL) was meant to be like a COGM to stop clandestine freemasons and spread "negro" freemasonry. Once they started to try to exercise authority over GLs, those GLs started separating themselves (becoming independent like they are today)...

    I beg to differ. The compact was abandoned.

    Also @lmeeks357 I found this: Incidentally, there are two jurisdictions which use neither F&AM nor AF&AM: The District of Columbia uses FAAM, and South Carolina uses AFM. Again, these are distinctions without any real difference. Various suppositions are made about "four-letter" Lodges vs...

    The Athol Grand Lodge, or Grand Lodge of Ancient Masons, had formed in England several decades after the formation of the Grand Lodge of England, which dates to 1717. The exact date of the founding of the Athol Grand Lodge is not known due to “the carelessness with which Masonic history was...

    You were PHA before you were recently raised? Why did you leave?

    There is no such thing as a "4 Letter" Prince Hall Mason in the United States. Feel free to inbox me if you have any questions.

    Regarding PHA members

    I'm gonna be honest with you, the way you are talking sounds just like the myriad of clandestine masons I see everyday. 3 and 4 letter this and that is common vernacular with them. I don't know what y'all are doing in NC, but I know of brothers in NC from the GL of North Carolina and the Prince...
