How we formed

The journey for building commonality and Masonic union was commenced in the fall of 2014. In accordance with the process for increased Masonic commonality from various affiliations, members from multiple Masonic organizations representing the States of Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, The District of Columbia, Georgia, and Florida, organized in Salisbury, MD, in October 2014, to ratify plans and Masonic agreements to become a Sovereign Grand Masonic organization. At this meeting Benaiah Sovereign Grand Lodge was given full rights and authority of the Executive Supreme Council Ancient and Accepted Rite of North America Charter dated November 2010 Warrant of Constitution (Degrees 4-33), presented by a Charter member notated on the actual Charter. An additional third Charter was granted to Benaiah Sovereign Grand Lodge by the Supreme Council for the Ancient and Accepted Rite of North America Charter, given via letter of transfer in November 2014. This Charter has Masonic lineage to the Masonic High Council of the World. In Jan 2015, Benaiah Sovereign Grand Lodge conducted its first Chartering Ceremony (Williamsburg, Virginia), to place Masonic Charters to various Grand Lodges and Lodges.

Today, Benaiah Sovereign Grand Lodge is committed to building a strong organization, founded upon Masonic principals and following the laws of the land. Benaiah Sovereign Grand Lodge is dedicated to producing quality relations and building a meaningful Masonic presence in the United States its territories and dependencies. We look forward to growing our commonality with various additional Masonic Organizations World-Wide. 

Our legacy continues each day!
