You do realize this is primarily a conference about the TOL/ECL movement within mainstream masonry, don’t you all? (Not general history issues or globalization issues, etc.)

Well, I suppose they could invite the Odd Fellows, the Kiwanis, and the Cleveland Brown’s secondary squad, to hear “their side,” too, but that really wouldn’t be a Masonic conference, would it?

I don’t think Brother Fred is being silly at all in his question. To have a truly open discussion on the topic you need to hear all sides without prejudice. Truth can only be ascertained when having all sides of the story before you render a decision or we are no better than this mock trial.

Don’t be silly, Fred. Kansas recognizes PHA Masonry.

My problem is you must be in amity with the Grand Lodge of Kansas. So if you are a women Mason, a Co-Mason or a so called clandestine Mason or a Prince Hall Mason not recognized by the Grand Lodge of Kansas – which probably excludes me- then you cannot participate. Furthermore if you are Margaret Jacobs or Steven Bullock you can not participate either.

Do you see how many good people have been eliminated? Is the purpose here to further Masonic knowledge or is the purpose to reinforce Mainstream only values?
