When you were an EA you were asking questions along these lines regarding the York Rite and the Commandery. So sorry if my patience regarding these questions and your tone is getting curt. Lumping close minded values with Christians is offensive and any brother who accuses the Commandery of...

Being close minded and strictly for Christians are not related, you do realize this, don't you?

Fred has been openly hostile towards Texas Freemasonry since he started blogging. He thinks that any white man born in the south is an automatic raciest, and those same men do not have the mental capability to understand "real" Freemasonry. He does far more to divide Prince Hall Freemasonry...

San Antonio does do festival's but the local York Rite bodies do put on the individual degrees. The issue comes down to time and commitment, the SR doesn't require the time as the York Rite does, and really, the three bodies of the York Rite (not including the blue lodge) mimic the blue lodge...

The Commandery without Christ is pretty much the Order of Knight Masons, they also don't have the uniform requirements. S&F, -Bro Vick

I have never known a man just to get the Order of Red Cross, have you?

To my knowledge, no. I have never watch a man just go through the first two degrees. The Order of Knight Masons confers something similar to the Order of the Red Cross, but I don't know of any man that has received the first two degrees. Order of Knight Masons do not require a profession of...

First, let me apologize for coming across as hostile, I was over zealous with my sarcasm, and was not meant as an attack, but more of a point as to the establishment of a Masonic organization based off of ones personal hobbies, or profession. The post was directed at the topic, not one...

Than why have two regular and fully recognized Grand Lodges in the same jurisdiction? The Europeans are constantly harping on this point, and have half a point. S&F, -Bro Vick

They don't hold any regularity, and were started like the Grand Orient of the USA for no other reason than they thought they could do Masonry better than anyone doing it now. They have been linked to in the past with degree peddling and other undesirable behavior. I don't know if they really...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! X2 S&F, -Bro Vick

This was attempted in 2000 with the "United Grand Lodges of France", but was still born after much disagreement. Also the power of the GLNF was pretty much undeniable in regularity within the country. That has now changed and the GLs feel even more empowered given the Basle Declaration. S&F...

The Confederation is an attempt to heal the old wounds that the establishment of the GLNF caused regular French Freemasons who have long said that the establishment of the Grand Lodge by the UGLE was much more about business partnership than anything Masonic. Their inclusion of splinter groups...

Recieved this from Michael Segall on Tuesday, this is somehwat of an update from the Basle Declaration: A historical development occurred yesterday (18 December 2012) among the regularly operating, even if not yet widely recognized, French Grand Lodges. The following statement has been...
