Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00086)

There are two groups of co-masons in the USA. One has no allegiance to the
leadership in Paris and is self-contained in the USA and the other has many
well known members of theosophy leaders active. Both have members of
theosophy.

The division of two groups was followed by litigation in the US Courts
(about the property and money) which has finally settled with a final
decision by the courts. There was msg posted which gave a URL link for the
full decision of the US  Appeals court which is of interest to anyone
interested in the historical background to co-masonry in the US.

The Eastern Star Order of Co-masonry (so called "theosophical
masonry" or leadbeterian, headed by Algeo) is very small outside the
US. And if a real co-mason of the "Le Droit Humain" has any
connection with this group, they will be anathemased at once. The
same will happen to all other masons, of the London or
Paris "divisions", too. The only two Eastern Star lodge, outside the
US I have heard of is in London and Amsterdam, but I think there
must be one in Adyar to.
