UGLE formally suspends masonic relations with the GLNF

At the UGLE Quarterly Communication today, in accordance with the published agenda, the Grand Lodge passed a resolution formalising the suspension of masonic relations with the GLNF. Suspension was announced in July as an administrative recommendation, but is now confirmed and enforceable as a grand Lodge edict. No-one spoke against the resolution, and the vote appeared to be unanimous.

While formally suspending relations with the GLNF the UGLE has not as such taken the final step of withdrawing recognition. In reality it is effectively the same thing since members of one are forbidden visiting or affiliating with a Lodge of the other.
