Visiting other lodges is an incredibly important part of Freemasonry as visits allow Masons to support other Masons’ lodges, learn from other lodges, exchange ideas with a broader scope of person and form bonds of brotherhood beyond their own lodge. It reinforces those shared experiences that transcend the individual and his lodge and helps serve as a guide in our search for meaning and understanding within our Masonic journey. We are often led by a sense of aesthetics, to explore the linguistic and visual beauty of the other lodges’ way of doing things as we seek out a different perspective to our own lodge practices.
Fraternity exists between the Scottish, English, Irish, South African and the Grand East of the Netherlands constitutions. South Africa is fairly unique in hosting so many constitutions. Inter-constitutional visiting by members to lodges under the jurisdiction of these constitutions is recommended. Brethren are reminded that visits to un-recognised constitutions are prohibited. Brethren wishing to visit lodges under different Grand Lodges overseas should first contact the Secretary who can advise on those recognised by the Grand Lodge of Scotland.
