Brethren,

I am aware of a number of emails that are being circulated by a former member of Freemasons Victoria, concerning the spurious Grand Lodge of Queensland. These emails contain false and misleading information, not only about the spurious Grand Lodge of Queensland but also the principles of recognition between regular Grand Lodges.  I would urge all members to ignore these emails.

Should you have any questions about Fraternal Relations or the principles of recognition that have been established and agreed upon by regular Grand Lodges around the world, please do not hesitate to contact me.

These are important matters that, if not understood, may result in a Brother being led innocently to violate their obligations.
