2011 Commission Report
2011 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California have now worked out an agreement that has unified them again into one regular Grand Lodge. The leaders of the two groups have signed the agreement, and have assured it will be ratified by both groups. The Grand Lodge of Baja California has now satisfied the standards for recognition. BULGARIA There continues to be no progress in the unification of Freemasonry in Bulgaria. Since they have previously been determined to meet the standards for recognition, there is no interest on the part of the United Grand Lodge of Bulgaria in entering discussions with the Grand Lodge AF&AM of Bulgaria, either for unification or for establishing a treaty to share the jurisdiction. Both of these Grand Lodges appear to practice regular Masonry, and both were of the same origin until they split in 2001. This Commission has urged the two Grand Lodges to resolve their differences for the past seven years to no avail; therefore this issue will not be addressed again until the brethren in Bulgaria reach some type of agreement. CYPRUS The United Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of Cyprus have reached an accord whereby they will both share the jurisdiction of Cyprus, and have established fraternal relations among themselves. The Grand Lodge of Cyprus therefore now meets all the standards for recognition. CZECH REPUBLIC The Grand Lodge of the Czech Republic informed us that an irregular body calling itself the Czech National Grand Lodge was recently created by a group of dissident members who defected and formed this new organization. -

The Rise and Progress of Freemasonry in Illinois, 1783-1952
LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN 366.1 T34r I.H.S. THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF FREEMASONRY IN ILLINOIS 1783-1952 By EVERETT R. TURNBULL Past Master, Mt.

FURTHER LIGHT Hale, brothers of the Rule and Line, who work by Truth and Honor's laws; Still striving toward the Light divine, the dayspring of our righteous cause. The cause our ancient seers upbore, in lonely lands through darkest night; Still keeping in their mystic Lore, the prophecy of "Further Light." And further light spread Truth and Love, 'till now the world begins to know The Fatherhood of God, above, the Brotherhood of Man, below. And we, who caught their thought in part — how oft we met, in former time To search for truths their "Royal Art," had woven in the "work" sublime. And oft within the dimmest lore, of ancient writ, we sought and found Some Jewel from their secret store — concealed of old in Holy ground; Concealed for those who sought aright, as that Foundation Stone of yore, "First seen in Heaven" by Holy Light, then centre of the Master's floor. And oft we met in concourse glad, and hail our chosen rulers all. And oft with spirits O how sad, to hear for some the funeral pall, And oft must be, 'till all go, and none shall know that we were here, For what is lost on earth below, is treasured in that higher sphere. -
Plenary Lecture
HALL I 09.00 — po.00 PLENARY LECTURE The first Capital cornerstone laying: Masonry, Alexandria, the nation, and the world, c. 1791 PROFESSOR STEVEN C. BULLOCK The 1791 ceremony laying the first boundary marker of District of Columbia was not a particularly impressive event. It attracted no famous figures. Even the stone itself was soon replaced. But the seemingly unremarkable ritual that took place almost exactly 220 years ago in Alexandria, just a few miles from the conference site, provides a means of examining some of the most significant elements of Masonry during those years. An examination of the ceremony and the brothers who participated in it highlights the connections that tied them and their town together, that linked them to the new nation and to its growing national economy, and that allowed them to participate in a transatlantic cultural world. Besides participating in these relationships, the fraternity also built and sustained them--allowing its members to fulfill the goal of a much more recent slogan, thinking globally while acting locally. 1111 HA _L" 10.30 —12 NOON SESSION I: MOZART AND FREEMASONRY CHAIR — HARRIET SANDVALL, UK Paper Ia: Mozart: The contrapuntal temple in the last symphony Neva Krysteva, Bulgaria If we discuss the "classical aspect" of Mozart's nature and "recognize" the same Masonic idea in the Requiem and in The Magic Flute, we think in the categories of humanity and universalism. The same can be said in other terms: Mozart is a representative of more than one meaning of the word Masonry: operative meaning ("Kunste," or "Arbeit") and speculative ("Klugheit,") aspects. -
2010 Commission Report
2010 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California agreed at the meeting of the Commission last year to sit down with the assistance of selected mediators and work for a resolution of their differences. This was accomplished and M :.W :. Franco Magdaleno Soto representing one faction, and M :.W :. Bro. Hector Pablo Meixueiro, representing the other faction signed the "California Agreement" which summarized the terms for unification of the two groups. Following that meeting, the Grand Lodge group headed by G.M. Soto ratified the agreement The Grand Lodge group headed by G.M Meixueiro would not concur with the agreement. During the year, several attempts to encourage completion of the ratification process were unsuccessful. Both Grand Masters attended the current meeting of the Commission, and both agreed to negotiate BOLIVIA A new Grand Lodge has surfaced in Bolivia, named the Grand Lodge of York Rite for Bolivia, located in the Department (state) of Cochabamba. It was founded in June of 2008 and composed of members from the Grand Lodge of Bolivia. There is no evidence of them being constituted by a regular Grand Lodge, nor is there a pact or treaty that the Grand Lodge of Bolivia will share the jurisdiction with them. The claim of this Grand Lodge is that the Constitution of Bolivia gives them, and no one else, sovereignty in the Department of Cochabamba. It is suspected that this may be true politically, but not Masonicly. This Grand Lodge has not been recognized by any other Grand Lodges, but they claim legitimacy by virtue of the fact that their members come from Lodges of the Grand Lodge of Bolivia, which is recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England. -

LONDON : PRINTED BY THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE COMPANY, LIMITED, AT THE " SCIENTIFIC PRESS," 3, RUSSELL COURT, BRYDGES STREET, COVENT GARDEN, W.C. THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEEOE. ADDRESS TO OUR READERS. IN accordance with " time-honoured custom," the completion of the 18fch Vol. of the New Series of the FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEROE is now availed of to address our readers. "With a view to carry out the proposal some time ago started for enabling the publishing price of the MAGAZINE to be reduced, and its circulation greatly increased, the preliminary steps have been taken,' and" it now only remains for our friends and the well wishers of the MAGAZINE to come forward and aid us in completing the project, in the successful carrying out of which, all the members of the Masonic fraternity, whether holding under the English, Scottish, or Irish constitutions, are interested to a much greater extent than those who have hitherto been connected with the MAGAZINE as a property. Now that the course of transferring the future publication of the MAGAZINE to a Joint Stock Company with " Limited Liability" has been determined upon, we earnestly invite the co-operation of its friends and supporters ; and, as it is not thought desirable to parade our Order and its only recognised Organ before the public, and as it is not believed to be necessary to appeal to the public to take shares in the Company, it is not proposed to issue any advertisements or public announcements ; it is therefore hoped that any application further a field for the remainder of the capital required, will be unnecessary. -
