Hopefully, both wrongs can be fixed, the visitation with our Prince Hall Brethren this year and the banishment of the lesser degrees from our business meetings next year. shanks2uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766514095411806317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-78133918247803098082016-10-19T16:29:48.921-04:002016-10-19T16:29:48.921-04:00As I'm not a USA resident and not familiar wit...As I'm not a USA resident and not familiar with the history of the separation and details, my view may be wrong but for me the fact that PH lodges were not recognised is a shame to the craft and its foundations.

The reports I received was that the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of passing this tremendous step forward in the form of this resolution. <br /><br />I think that two Past Grand Masters need to be recognized for, in my opinion, laying the groundwork that made this great day possible, and they are the Most Worshipful Past Grand Master, Herman Forester, from the Grand Lodge of Kentucky F&AM and the late Most Worshipful Past Grand Master, Hugh Harlan, from the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Kentucky F&M PHA.<br /><br />While our dearly departed Brother Hugh lived only long enough to see that the resolution in 2011 was passed and that the two respective jurisdictions recognize each other, he unfortunately did not get to see this great day come to fruition. Brother's Hugh and Herman worked tirelessly to ensure that Freemasonry in Kentucky will continue to progress and not fall backward or stall in place.<br /><br />If there ever was a time in the history of, not only our country, but the world, where evil exists everywhere, we need to put aside the petty differences that have for years divided us and realize that we truly are a Brotherhood regardless of who we are, what we look like and what differences we may have with each other and live up to our obligations and make this a better world For All Mankind more especially our brother Mason wherever they may be dispersed, whether they are across the street or across the ocean.
