While parts of the nation are still having recognition issues with Prince Hall, Indiana is paving the way for cooperation between the two Grand Lodges and showing what can be done if you are willing to work together. Both Grand Lodges will get together for a Unity Degree on April 27th. There will be two candidates, one from each Grand Lodge . The Mainstream Grand Lodge of Indiana will open Lodge and perform the first section of the degree. The Most worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Indiana will perform the second section of the degree and close Lodge.
A special Unity Logo has been posted for this event!
The Prince Hall half was created by Brother Brian Carlos Sanchez.
While you may have read some critical posts from the Beehive on the state of American Freemasonry, there will be none of that here. This is Freemasonry as it should be practiced – good stuff! Hats of to Indiana Freemasons – all Freemasons!
Indiana Freemasons has one of the official proclamations of this event.
