    the way i understood it was we can meet and greet as masons just not visit lodge. i would like to know what the law book says. i personally would not see anything wrong with going to a fundraiser. i would think as long as it i not an official meeting it would be fine

    the prince hall shriners supported the east west shrine game in houston the past three years. they had a part of a parade that kicked off the game and that aired on espn. i would say that both sides of the fraternity had a great time with each other. they had a tent set up with barbeque and a...

    Worshipful Master

    it think to be master mean should master something. either know the work or law book. my opinion has changed on this issue because i have seen great masters who didnt know the ritual but do a great job as master and dealing with the issues that come with the East. i now think the most important...

    Compact between Prince Hall Brothers and A.F.& A.M. Brothers in Texas

    i would not mind visitation added. i think its silly that i can travel to other jurisdictions and sit in lodge with Prince Hall Masons but not in my own. i would love to see degree work and look at the similarities and differences of our 2 grand lodges and our work.

    California Masonic Statistics

    i think a part of it i when people petition they do not fully understand what is going to be expected from them. i have always enjoyed meeting candidates and explaining to them the expectations and tim of our learning requirements.
