Depending upon the particulars of your jurisdiction, a lodge in Johannesburg may could confer the MM degree on you as a courtesy for your home lodge. If this is possible, it will require a good bit of coordination between the lodges via the two Grand Lodges. See: http://www.grandlodge.co.za/glsanor.html#Back Ron,

This story tars every Mason as racist. And it has now (as was inevitable) gone global: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/03/atlanta-georgia-freemasons-race These stories in the paper, magazines, on television (and major news networks at that), radio, hurt everyone who is a Mason. The bigots guilty of kicking off this affair are guilty of un-Masonic conduct and sowing discord and dissension among the craft. Add to their blatant disregard for God' law as well as Masonic tolerance and they need to be removed from the Craft. And all of the Grand Lodges who sit silent or quietly working behind the scenes be forewarned: Unless you speak up, pull recognition from Grand Lodges who tolerate these sorts of views among people who are leaders, or fail to recognize Prince Hall, society will rule against us and pull from us the recognition that we serve any purpose other than a divisive and destructive one. There is no way to control these sort of foul and odious stories once they are out, and we all must suffer the consequences. As a result of all of these stories, and articles, I guarantee you that there is at least one more person in the world who thinks: Mason = Bigot. Is this what you want???

As a person who is new to Masonry one of the questions that comes up is if Masonry admits blacks (sorry not very pc) to it’s ranks as some people read that we don’t…along with questions about being a cult or anti-Christian(evangelical). One of the issues I have encountered is access or ability to attend meetings and receive degrees. I am currently a Fellow Craft. But my challenge is that since receiving my Entered Apprentice I have chosen a line of work where I now primarily live overseas. In essence I have become a “citizen of the world” as I really have no place I would call home where I could join a lodge. Right now I received my 1st degree in a N. California lodge then my 2nd in my fathers lodge in another city and now waiting for a time in the next year or two when I pass through CA again and have time for my 3rd degree and finally raised. Until that time I do not have privileges to visit other lodges as I travel the world. Masonry membership is based on a home lodge to attend and die in… but in this day and age many people like myself move constantly and may not settle again for years. How do we grow in Masonry when we may spend very little time in a traditional home lodge setting? I would think in this increasingly mobile world this is a challenge that will face Masonry as it attempt to remain relevant and strong in the 21st century. If you know a good lodge in Johannesburg, where I am for the next year or two, please let me know. Sir,
