Glen, can something like the OES actually be "recognised" or is it simply not declared clandestine and hence in such Constitutions, we can join it ?
These are the standards for recondition of Masonic grand lodges. That said, in the case of the clandestine rectified rite, an opinion was given as to its irregularity.Glen, can something like the OES actually be "recognised" or is it simply not declared clandestine and hence in such Constitutions, we can join it ?

Brothewr other then Wikipedia where can I find info on the Rectified rite?These are the standards for recondition of Masonic grand lodges. That said, in the case of the clandestine rectified rite, an opinion was given as to its irregularity.
The Commission only offers its recommendations to the sovereign grand lodges.
Bro. Cook, please forgive me for jumping in here, but "recognition" (as discussed above) only applies to Masonic GLs. AFAIK, every GL reserves the right to decide what other organizations, which require Masonic membership, that GL's members may join. That's an entirely different form of "recognition".Glen, can something like the OES actually be "recognised" or is it simply not declared clandestine and hence in such Constitutions, we can join it ?

Correct. These are the standards for recondition of Masonic grand lodges. The GLs separately decide whether an appendant body meets their own standards for acceptance. Thus, you have differing opinions on a motorcycle group or youth group, not being based upon notices of regularity but of adherence to the overseeing power of the GL.

No. This is the legitimate order.
So which one is the clandestine org?No. This is the legitimate order.
Actually, it is not clear they actually had a charterThe Grand Encampment have returned their charter for CBCS, so GPA seems to be the only ones who confer these degrees in the US.
However, membership in the US is problematic, as technically the GEKT still forbids membership the Rite. Further, membership in the Rite is currently limited as a percentage of Masonic membership of that state.This information is a few years old but might be a good starting point.

Personally I feel that the CBCS ( as the rectified rite often is refered to) is a great high degree system that I really recommend to anyone intrested in the christian templar theme.
