Bases for Recognition
The following principles are the bases upon which Masonic recognition is established and maintained by this Grand Lodge :
- adherence to the Landmarks of Freemasonry
- membership is limited to men, of good report
- that the Volume of the Sacred Law must be used in Obligations and be open in view at meetings (exception where a candidate requires the Sacred Volume of his own religion)
- belief in God
- religion and politics are not permitted to be discussed at meetings
- regularity of origin
- that the Grand Lodge shall be a sovereign and independent body with exclusive control over the Craft degrees and Lodges within its jurisdiction
Grand Lodges which cannot show adherence to the above principles are not regarded or recognised as Freemasons by this Grand Lodge.They cannot be visited by, or visit with recognised Freemasons.
Each Grand Lodge is an independent and autonomous body. The establishment of fraternal relations between Grand Lodges serves to promote universal brotherhood, facilitates visits between Freemasons of different jurisdictions establishing such relationships, and enables each Grand Lodge to be aware of events in each other jurisdiction.
Recognition is considered on request from the other Grand Lodge. Fraternal relations are established,after the requirements for recognition have been satisfied.Grand Representatives are exchanged by mutual agreement.
