Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge
Request Mutual Recognition from 50
Grand Lodges.
Grand Master Willie Williams, under the
authority of the 2002 Prince Hall
Grand Lodge of Georgia Grand Lodge
session vote, submitted letters to 50
mainstream Grand Lodges throughout the
world requesting mutual Masonic
recognition. While Grand Master Williams
believes that there can be no
question about the legitimacy of Prince
Hall Masons and recognition by
mainstream Grand Lodges is not necessary
to establish legitimacy, he
believes in the universality of masonry and that all regular constituted Grand
Lodges should share a common bond; a unique bond that can only exit between
true
Masons. Because of this unique bond,
Masons should be the first to look
beyond color, ethnicity, religion,
geographical borders, and other forces
that tend to divide good men. We must be
true to our order and promote
Masonry throughout the world. We must
join hands and fight to rid the
world of those who mislead good men in to joining bogus groups that give
Masonry
bad name. Grand Master Williams is
optimistic and expects a positive
response. He is somewhat concerned about
his home state, the Grand Lodge
of
(Buster)Horne and the Grand Senior Warden in 2002. He (GM Williams) had
anticipated a discussion and straw poll would be taken at their (GL of GA)
annual
session but he learned that it did not happen. Some of their members have
expressed their disappointment. Grand Master Williams remains hopeful and would
consider it a major accomplish.
