Actually, a GL doesn't have a charter. Lodges would have to be chartered from one of the mother GLs and form the GL. Every Regular GL has lineage this way. Recognition works differently. There are regular GLs in the US that don't recognize each other, but that does not make them irregular. It...

My bad, I didn't even answer the question. Yes and no. Those GLs that have mutual recognition and visitation in place can visit each others lodges with no problem. If your GL does not have visitation in place, i.e, Texas, then even though we recognize each other as brothers, we can't visit each...

I am assuming that you really mean GL of State and Prince Hall. Am I correct? Using AF&AM and F&AM can be misleading because even though all Prince Hall GLs are F&AM, not all GL of State GLs are AF&AM.

There is a gentleman desirous of joining a lodge in that area. If anyone has a contact there, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.

I don't believe that he has been initiated into the Craft yet.

Re: A.f & a.m? F.&a.m? It just seems misleading to say that F&AM GLs are irregular and that is just not the case. The letters truly don't determine regularity.

I would say yes, but what is more important is that we don't get caught up in the letters. If each of us familiarizes ourselves with which GLs our jurisdiction has amity with and know exactly what GLs are regular (All GL of State, MWPHGL of State, MW Stringer GL of MS, and the MW Union GL of FL)...

It was a beautiful thing indeed. Welcome to the fraternity and District 15A of the MWPHGLoTX

Money and titles. Many people are just misinformed and don't know the difference and those are the men that these clandestine GLs prey on.

In Florida there are several GLs that are clandestine. They basically popped up out of nowhere. One that comes to mind is Cypress Grand Lodge of Florida http://masoniccongress.ning.com/

Re: A.f & a.m? F.&a.m? What are some of those irregular F & AM lodges? The reason that I ask is because here in the States, most of the irregular lodges use A.F. & A.M.

My wife has the Blue Slipper decal on her car as well. I purchased it from the GLoTX.

Are you thinking of going with the Grand Lodge of Texas or the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas?

. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and I hope everything works out. I have some additional information for if you would send me a PM. Also, where exactly is that GL located and who is the Grand Master?

Greetings!!

I would hope that I delivered that message in the most friendly way possible. If it did not come out that way, I apologize. If you ever have a question about a lodge in Texas, contact either of the two GLs I mentioned earlier and I'm sure either one would be glad to assist you. God bless you as...

None of those activities actually make a man a mason. Unfortunately, many men, regardless of social status, are duped into joining these organizations. No amount of charity work can make a man a legitimate mason.

If there is a Grand Lodge operating in Texas that is not the GLoTX or the MWPHGLoTX, then it is not a regular or recognized Grand Lodge. You could always forward the info to Bro. Ed King at Anti-Masonry: Points of View so that he can add that GL to the list located at More Phonies Hope that helps.

Congrats brothers and welcome to the MWPHGLoTX!!
