I could PM Bill Lins on this, but thought I would ask it out in the open. As this forum is dealing with another question regarding Masonic MC/RC membership, Grand Lodge law regarding organizations that predicate themselves on Masonic membership is clear that they have to have recognition from Grand Lodge.
With that being stated, do Degree Teams that are formal (Sons of Hiram, etc) need to request recognition, or are they exempt? They do require that a man be a Master Mason to be a member, and regularly meet to conduct practices.
So am I nuts, or are these teams, meeting the definition of Article 225a? I might be reading too much into this, but thought I would ask.
