For the benefit of Brothers who are not aware of the differences in the UGLE constituted lodges (this includes 95% of the U.S. lodges) and the other half of the worlds lodges (Orients), lets talk about those differences (politely).

I do not believe it correct that 95% of the GLs in the US were constituted by UGLE. TBMK none in the Western US were.

I always diffenciated the UGLE and Orient by the their approach in masonic teachings. I myself being a member of an UGLE lodge have met some brethren from France during some trips. I realised that they focus more on Esoteric meaning of masonry than the exoteric approach we seem to cherish more in north america. Also They are a lot more secretive about their associations and their activities Vs, looking at Masonry in my city( montreal) I see that the brethren are more attracted to the big fame and glory of the past and look into benefits that can be gained by belonging to the fraternity, which disapoints lots of new members
Just my opinion | |
