MW Grand Master Stinson has extended fraternal greetings to the MWPH Grand Lodge of Alabama and has invited all Grand Lodge officers of the MWP Grand Lodge to attend the annual communication of the Grand Lodge of F& AM of Alabama in November. Grand Master Stinson also will announce cross visitation between both Grand Bodies as soon as possible.

Also in attendance at this meeting was Karl F. Reed II S.G.I.G. of the AASRSJ Orient of Alabama that he shall declare that all PHA Masons who are members of the AASRSJ or members of the PHA AASR are welcome to attend any and all meetings of the Valley's in Alabama.

MW Grand Master Stinson stated that Alabama Governor Bob Riley will attend the annual communication in November to officially welcome this full recognition of PH in Alabama.

MW Grand Master Stinson stated an offical letter would be sent to all lodges informing them they are required to allow their PH Brothers admission into all lodges just as soon as hell freezes. April Fools ain't it wonderful? You may all pick yourselves up off the floor now and get back to reality, racism is still alive and well here in Alabama sadly...

I have to admit, it had me going there for a moment. Nice April fools there "Stealth", I was starting to swell with pride that maybe there was hope.

I'm new to all this, but i know that there is always hope. The key is for free masons everywhere to put aside the petty differences and come together. The key to that happening is LEADERSHIP. An armys streangth lies in its unity.

D. W. Brown · 04-13-2008, 10:29 PM

Agreed Ricky... Very good point.

Brothers and Friends,

Apologies for joining this discussion so late. I agree with Brother Ricky that it will take leadership to bring all men of like faiths together in unity. Prejudism and discrimination have long kept would-be Masons outside Lodges; Politics have kept Masons separate. Our differences must be set aside and at the same time celebrated.

Together in harmony, that's what Masonry is about.

Together in harmony? Are you kidding? From this post it seems we are only about together in racism and very bad taste. This post does not make me proud to be a Mason.

I don't think this thread is a commentary on masonic racism as much as modern thinking masons mocking those that still believe in seaparation by color.
