The fall session of the Council of the Order of the Grand Orient of the United States opened the door for many changes and one of them is the introduction of the Preston-Webb York Rite. This is the same degrees of Freemasonry that have been practiced in American Masonic lodges for over two centuries. The York Rite is divided into four parts: Symbolic Lodge, Royal Arch Chapter, Council of Royal & Select Masters, and the Commandery of the Knights Templar.

Yes, indeed “The Times They Are A-Changin’” at the Grand Orient USA and in American Freemasonry. Generation-X brothers are handing over the reigns to the Millennials, and we have some different ideas about Freemasonry. First, we owe a great debt of gratitude to the brothers at Sirius, Halcyon, and Regulus lodges for breaking open the doors to Masonic freedom, and being open-minded and willing to see their organization change to meet the needs of the next generation.

How do you become a Freemason? You simply decide to join the movement and set yourself free to be the person you’ve always wanted to be. The new Freemasonry is about bringing people together who might never have met in any other way. It’s about finding friends just like yourself who care about others and enjoy working on projects that help their community and America.

When the Grand Orient was formed back in 2005 it was registered with the state of Georgia as a Non-Profit Corporation in compliance with state law, just like all the existing Grand Lodges and Prince Hall Grand Lodges. It is governed by its Constitutions and By-Laws, and its officers are elected by its member-lodges.
The Grand Orient is different in that it is, by its By-Laws, not allowed to own real estate or investments. This is because it was setup to be a service organization for the purpose of networking its member-lodges. The officers of the Grand Orient are volunteers and receive no compensation or tax benefit from their service. They serve the organization out of love and respect for the universal brother and sisterhood of Freemasons.
