Talk:Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania

Scam on Mobile Search
Instead of saying “Grand Lodge in Pennsylvania,” the mobile search gives the WhatsApp number of a sketchy looking “lodge” invitation in Nigeria. Can that be fixed somehow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.41.118 (talk) 03:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Separate articles?
Nuttyskin 03:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Nuttyskin has commented that American grand lodges do not warrant separate articles on Wikipedia due to the fact that the ritual and procedural differences between the Northern and Southern Jurisdictions in the U.S. are not great enough. He argues that the ritual and procedural differences between individual lodges in Scotland are more numerous than in the whole U.S. I would first take issue with his premise. Whereas it is true that the G.L. of Scotland does permit greater autonomy among its lodges in making decisions regarding ritual and procedural matters, I believe that you will find greater diversity between the rituals and procedures of, say, lodges in Massachusetts and Hawaii, or between Vermont and Arizona. But more to the point, I would comment that these articles on individual grand lodges are not studies about different grand lodge "rituals and procedures," as Mr. Nuttyskin seems to maintain. Rather, they are about the individual histories of these grand lodges, as well as other pertinent information. Why that is not obvious to him is a mystery to me. Further, the fact that he seems to be unaware that "Northern and Southern Jurisdictions" refers to Scottish Rite jurisdictions, and that these have nothing to do with the 51 individual U.S. Craft grand lodges, betrays his unfamiliarity with the subject of American Freemasonry.PGNormand 19:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Indeed an acception should be made, have you ever seen Pennsylvania Ritual in comparison to the rest of the states? Pennsylvania Ritual still comes entirely from the ancient tradition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.59.248.113 (talk) 17:51, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Building
It would be nice if there was some information about the building in the article. john k (talk) 02:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Photo of Seal
Not sure why the photo of the seal was removed. I am not aware of it being copyrighted. As for the photo that is my own photo and it is on the website of my Lodge of which I am the webmaster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:F470:6:5002:106E:E52B:DE71:5635 (talk) 01:47, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
