If it is to be universal, then recognition is irrelevant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-1136824820455575412006-01-09T11:40:00.000-05:002006-01-09T11:40:00.000-05:00Under the United Grand Lodge of America, matters o...Under the United Grand Lodge of America, matters of "recognition" are left to individual lodges. UGLA refuses to play the Recognition Game. It matters not what jurisdiction a Mason is under -- he is still a Brother.<BR/><BR/>The Good Ol' Boys are not going to be the ones interested in the UGLA vision of and for Freemasonry, which is about true Brotherhood under the All-Seeing Eye of Deity. Those not interested in Brotherhood and the study of Masonic symbols, history and esoterica won't find UGLA lodges of interest; they can remain in the current sinking system, satisfied with business meetings, fish frys, hobo dinners, jumping through hoops for Grand Masters and making fusses over misspoken "and's" and "of's" in ritual recitation.Widow's Sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135009678671539418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15872122.post-1136744092450402722006-01-08T13:14:00.000-05:002006-01-08T13:14:00.000-05:00I like the idea of this and think that it does sta...I like the idea of this and think that it does stand to gain a level of notice, but the network of "Good old boys" that are so inculcated in the system will reject out of hand this movement. has there been any discussion of recognition with the other Masonic bodies (PHA< CO, Le Droit, GWU, etc...)? It strikes me that to be a champion of recognition, there needs to be alliances with those to be recognized.<BR/><BR/>I am interested to see how this evolves. A brother in Florida has recently been on the recieving end of a Grand Lodge throttling, so I'm curious what evolves in this situation.Greg Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17688459525360750872noreply@blogger.com
