Masonic connection to ACACIA
TPASteph
As I understand it ACACIA used to have a requirement that in order to join one had to either be a Mason or a Masonic legacy. That requirement was relaxed some years back but there is still a close bond of friendship between Acacia and Masonry much like deMolay and Masonry although probably not as close. However, I am reasonably sure that when one is initiated into ACACIA one is not made a Mason by doing so. The organizations are seperate and while the one was founded by the other it does not automatically confer mutual membership. Since ACACIA was founded on Masonic principles it would seem logical that lots of ACACIAS join a Lodge of Masons later in life. Anyway, maybe we can get a brother from ACACIA to reply to this thread and see if he would explain the history and present relationship between Masonry and ACACIA. There has to be a lot of open information that could be shared. Any other Masons or Acacias out there care to join in? Thanks,
