Recognition began with the Ancients and Moderns. The Grand Lodges of Ireland and Scotland were also recognized early on.
Recognition and breaking of ties have not ceased to date. In short, the answer to your question is no. Still, this is a good question that poses confusion everywhere...
I was told one of the local lodges in Houston had been ordered to read minutes after having skipped them for several years. That they were told to read all skipped minutes.
This could have been a stretch, or, even not have happened. I took it for fact at the time but I will check further.
Bro Bill ... didn't someone get into a heap of Reading-all-those-unread-Minutes a while back here in Texas?
I'm talking multiple years worth. No names please.
This is a toughie! I'm about a half mind to call the light seekers together for an off called meeting to "get down to serious masonry" next year. Minutes and correspondence are important, but do take up much time.
My dad (a mason) passed away when I was 14. I never wanted for that helpful hand. Someone always stepped up when I needed a clue. Never really found out why until I became a mason.
This is a great fraternity!
Brethren, last time I looked Islam was a religion, one of the Children of Abraham religions. As a religion, Islam is too subject to man's interpretation. Therefore, like all religions, it to is tainted.
Still ... surely there is enough misinterpretation to go around. I can't think of one...
