FreeMasonry Vs. Princehall Masonry. Thread starter Derric Start date Jun 7, Derric New Member. Is there any difference between the two types of Masonry? Besides the PrinceHall Masons being african-americans, of course. I spoke briefly about this with a Freemason, but we didn't get deep into the topic. I'm asking because people in the south are still separating the two. So, I'm curious to know if there's any difference in what's being taught or any other differences.

Ashlar Masonic Mafia. Short answer , there is no difference. We practice the same rituals with just a few subtle differences. I cannot answer that question, I have never attended a PHA lodge, and I don't know of any in my local vacinity. Sadly here in Florida their Lodges are not recognized. I would love to attend one someday.

From reading about the history of PHA it all seems pretty much the same. The fact that there were several people with the same name did not help. The following, by the Phylaxis Society, is considered factual. Prince Hall was born in , he was a slave belonging to William Hall, who freed him in He was a Methodist and abolitionist who petitioned the Massachusetts legislature to end slavery.

He campaigned for schools to educate the African-American children of Boston. Hall was a leather dresser by trade. One of his products was drumheads for the Army. This military lodge left Boston a year later but before doing so they granted Prince Hall and his Brethren authority to meet as a lodge, bury their dead, and march in processions for St. In order to become a fully functioning lodge that could confer degrees, African Lodge No. This is partially because Hall and his Brethren were selective in who they admitted.

I would be very interested in reading his thoughts on the Prince Hall Scottish Rite and the British Scottish Rite, if he should ever write about them. HTM The graphics of the page are missing, and the original's footnotes were not included, but the bulk of the facts are there.

In it, Art discusses the oft repeated anecdote that Albert Pike gave a copy of his revisions to Thornton A. According to a letter written in by a later SGC, Pike and Jackson had become friends, and late in his Masonic career, "he became a very staunch friend of Negro Masonry.

Very interesting, I can tell you after reading that the Prince Hall Scottish Rite is in-line with the Southern Jurisdiction degree work, rather then our Northern counterpart. Prince Hall scottish rite degrees are the same ones as the s.

It was not. The manuscript has been complete for quite some time, however for some unfathomable reason, it has had difficulty getting to press. At first Macoy's was doing it, but backed out at the last minute, demanding a large number of pre-sale commitments before printing it. Then, Porter wanted to do it through a CreateSpace endeavor, but that seems to have faded. I put the author in touch with Michael Poll, and his Cornerstone Publishing has committed to publishing it.

That was a couple of months back and I haven't heard a release date yet. I know it required reformatting because of how he created his document. And I suspect Michael may have had some copyright concerns about several images, along with graphics too small to properly reproduce for publication - just one longstanding danger with grabbing internet art that guys like Mike and other pros worry about.

So, I just know it's still coming, just not when.
