I hope that this doesn't prove to be to controversial, but I was wondering about everyone's thoughts on the recent proposal of the Grand Lodge of New York to officially recognize Prince Hall Lodges. I honestly don't see why it wasn't done along time ago, unless there is more to the division than Race.

I personally have no problems with it. Every lodge has their own rites and privledges.

I would love to see it here in KY . I am really tired of the southern "mainstream" GL's taking all the blame for it though , when the problem comes from both sides . I have quite a few friends who are black PHA Masons who thinks it's funny how us "mainstreamers" get bashed for not recognizing them even though they , for the most part , do not want our recognition . Even my friends don't want my GL's recognition . Atleast It's not hurting our friendship .

I belong to a lodge that is subordinate to the Grand Lodge of New York (F&AM). The GL of New York has had full recognition with Prince Hall masonry in New York, and many other states, for some years.

You may be interested to know that a couple of weeks ago, the Grand Lodge of North Carolina, has voted to recognize Prince Hall masonry in North Carolina.

I think the recognition of Prince Hall Lodges is LONG overdue
