	Grand Lodge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Grand Lodge, or "Grand Orient", is the usual governing body of "Craft", or "Blue Lodge", Freemasonry in a particular jurisdiction.
		The head of a Grand Lodge is called the Grand Master, and the other officers of the Grand Lodge prefix "Grand" to the titles of Lodge officers.
		While the United Grand Lodge of England, the Grand Lodge of Ireland and the Grand Lodge of Scotland each govern Freemasonry within their respective countries, Continental European countries typically have more than one Grand Lodge per country.

		This culminated in the establishment of a Grand Lodge of Ireland in Dublin between 1723 and 1724, and the appointment of a Grand Master who was invariably a member of the nobility.

	Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland Rituals exposed
		Grand Lodge immediately addressed the bewildering amount of unnecessary ritualism that had found its way into Orangeism, and here began a process of reform which purged out all the varying amount of neo-Masonic ritualistic baggage which had settled itself within the Order.
		Whilst Grand Lodge undertook a widespread process of implementing simplification, their campaign of reform was hampered by the variation of ceremonies in certain parts of Ireland.
		Grand Lodge stamped their authority upon the situation immediately, warning these renegades, "It having been reported by Several Gentlemen that in violation of the Rules of the Grand Orange lodge of Ireland, some Masters of Lodges in Dublin and elsewhere have initiated Orangemen into Systems which they term Black, Scarlet, etc. Resolved unanimously.

		Draffen is at pains to say that, especially from the African Lodge point of view, the lodge remained under the Grand Lodge of England (and later under the United Grand Lodge) and were probably quite unaware of their erasure.
		No private lodge under the jurisdiction of the premier Grand Lodge or the United Grand Lodge has ever had power to issue charters or warrants; neither has authority ever been given to a private lodge to issue dispensations or permits of any kind.
		Whilst I am not prepared to question the activities of a lodge under the jurisdiction of Scotland I cannot help but feel that Fredericksburg also acted unconstitutionally and the fact that it constituted other lodges ought not to be quoted as a precedent for unconstitutional acts by a private lodge under the jurisdiction of England.

		Beneficiary of the appeal was the Cancer Research Campaign, whose UK executives flew across to join Northern Ireland officials for the presentation of the massive cheque, at an event in Schomberg House.
		In fact the donation is the largest single Northern Ireland donation to Cancer Research, something which the Grand Master puts down to the generous nature and charitable outlook of Orange brethren and their supporters across Northern Ireland and the border counties of the Republic.
		The reception evening was attended by Grand Lodge representatives from as far away as County Monaghan, while many representatives from Cancer Research branches had their first opportunity to visit Orange headquarters at Schomberg House.
