Compiled from numerous sources. Of special note are two key resources: Jean Solis's Guide Pratique de la Franc-Maçonnerie; and Paul Bessel's site - basically a similar page to this one. A couple of other significant online resources are Gary Dryfoos's Page About Freemasonry and Roald Atle Furre's masons.start4all.com.

Some Lodges under UGLQ (Australia)

1) 'TS orientation' refers to those GLs that have decided to adopt Theosophical Society views with regards to Freemasonry, as expressed by Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater. Unless you are TS inclined, I would personally encourage alternatives where these are available.
2) warnings: 'NR' means 'Not Recommended'. As I am at times asked if there are particular GLs I would personally either avoid or not recommend, I have added this small precautionary footnote to but few GLs:
a] the so-called 'Regular Grand Lodge of England' (with branches in various other places) and its derivative 'Grand Lodge of All England'. In my limited dealings with each, they have given me great cause for concern, and would suggest vigilant caution. UGLE has this to say:
There has been a split in the “Regular Grand Lodge of England" [Rui Gabirro, aka Robert H. Lamar, Duke Alexander of Cabinda, and Mangovo Ngoyo]. Two of their members were unhappy at the direction the RGLE is taking and have “revived” the old Grand Lodge of All England, known to Masonic historians as the York Grand Lodge.
The Grand Master of this new Grand Lodge is one John Gordon Graves and the Grand Secretary is Peter J. Clatworthy.b] the 'A.U.M.' stems from Alice and Foster Bailey's views and appears to have rather unsavoury anti-semitic tendencies.
3) Various Lodges of the Grand Orient de France have initiated women (June 2008), with the GO recognises that these initiations were regular in all respects. The GO still has to, however, accept that its member Lodges are (or may be) Co-Masonic. My heartfelt congratulations to those Lodges and to the GOdF!

For some geographical locations I have already added information as to whether its GLs exclude individuals on the basis of either gender of religious belief. Over time and as information is forthcoming, I hope to complete this for all regions. A brief explanation follows:
|
Women | Men | Laïc | Sup. Being | Christ. | ||
Name of GL (linked to website if known) |
open to women |
open to men |
personal religious belief not determinant part of admission process |
belief in a Supreme Being required (or acceptable if previous column also ticked) |
open to Christians. If the previous column is not selected: restricted to Christians |
