Nevada protocol is to have your lodge secretary contact the GL Grand Secretary who will then contact the GL Grand Secretary in the jurisdiction you will be visiting.
Just a little note... I don't think the postal services deliver in my area because I only recieved the first Coin/Pin. Since then nothing 😢 Unless if the post office IS deciding to collect merch😅😂❤.
We don't have amity with you. However, we do have dual jurisdiction, and we can discuss it on another platform, of course concerning recognition, UGLE, ETC....
Blue Lodge Secretary here. I don't do Scottish or York because being secretary takes up all my spare time. ...and I have A LOT of questions. -Is this a Scottish Rite thing only? -40% of my Lodge doesn't even have an email address (or can't figure out how to open a .pdf attachment to read their trestle). How the heck do I get members to use this? It will take 25 years for those guys to age-out or get up to speed with 1995 tech. -Does this app run off Grandview? Our Grandview "engagement" is like 25%. I see only the top 1% (the "Mega-Masons") using this - short term. -What the heck do I do if someone from out of state shows up at our meeting flashing a QR code on their phone at me? -My Lodge building doesn't even have internet. I'm working on this, but is there a way for Lodge Officers to use a different "mode" in the app to verify somebody throwing a QR code at them? -What does it cost to use the app? I could go on, but I don't want to linger here and be a pest.
39% of your lodge is lying to you. LOL. Recent surveys show that across age groups 90% of US house holds, have email addresses. If they have cable and a cell phone? You can bet your butt they have email. But older Brothers hate spam the way Gen Z hates phone calls. They would rather you show up at their house than send an unwanted email. No idea why. In my lodge, I appealed to their sense of cheapness- if you don't switch to THIS and stop making us by stamps, we have to raise dues. Man...the FLOCKED to email. As for your other questions, send me an email and I will forward to jeremy.
I think the comments on how lodges can get starlink and trying to put it as the lodge doesn't want to get with the times isn't a helpful way to look at the problem. There is a number of lodges that honestly are barely open. There is a number of lodges on the outside of the lodge it looks horrible. I dare you to go and look at all the lodges in your state on Google maps. And you likely will find in poorer places they aren't kept up. The fault IMO falls on the GL. Basically it isn't being forced to keep up the outside of the lodge, regularly cut their grass, remove rust stains, etc. And with that, if the GL isn't forcing these basic things. Why would they force the local lodge to get with the times or to push for them to increase their dues to be able to. I've personally seen it where the GL in a few states push hard over numbers above everything else. They push for quantity and not quality. In fact they don't want quality because it prevents bragging rights on having x amount of members.
I love Amity, but as High Priest (First Principle for those in the UK), when is the officer list going to be updated to include that office? EVERY other officer option is there, except for the one in the East.
I just spent some time digging into Amity, and it looks like it could be extremely helpful. I have the same challenge as others here have noted - our Lodge doesn't have internet, and most of our Brothers don't have email addresses. Technology beyond a landline is beyond most of them. Are you offering video tutorials or similar I could reference? As Senior Warden I've been following each of our Lodge meetings with instructional presentations, and it would be great if I could give the Lodge additional instruction here.
Once you log in on the app, there are videos you can share with others. Click the menu in the upper left and then scroll down to tutorials. I bet if you contact Jeremy, he will help get your lodge up to speed.
my preacher said being a freemason is a sin... blah blah blah, bible stuff and scriptures blah blah; so nobody in my church was a mason... guess it depends on if you read the bible, and whether or not you interpret it the way some folks do or some other way

My lodge now had Dues cards online to print out.

Here in the most worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge state of California we do both, we have a card and our members are on an app called Grandview.
Amity works with Grand View too

Does Amity include the Grand Lodge of the Philippines and appendant bodies?

I'm not a Mason. By safe is a good analogy of an unsafe lodge akin to a fake church?

Amity was crazy helpful when I visited London last year
Great to learn!
Can’t wait to check out the app.

I used to use it but it was not that well accepted. Getting it back up.
What if your Canadian? I found my lodge but it wants a member of number.r I have a grand lodge certificate number, would that do?
You know, maybe freemasons need to establish the brotherhood as it was.
How do I get my lodge secretary on boarded to use the app features
My account is still yet to be verified.

Could you create a video or give a deep explanation on why so many people still believe that Christians can't join Freemasonry? Thank you.
Already have.

Great job! 👏🏽 🫡

Can’t have covenants with any other than God
This organization is accursed.
All our promises are to God and we are blessed. You have some incorrect information. Have a nice day.
I'm glad the ignorant remain so. We don't need losers at our lodges!
Never heard of Amity before.
Check it out.

Good day brethren! I have a couple questions about how this works. Who can i contact?
