Continental Freemasonry in North America

Continental or Liberal Freemasonry in North America refers to a small sub-set of Masonic lodges and Grand Lodges (also called Grand Orients) located in the United States, Canada and Mexico which follow a masonic tradition that is more common in Europe (and especially France). In contrast to the mainstream form of Freemasonry practiced in North America, the Continental tradition welcomes a broader spectrum of beliefs, genders, and philosophical perspectives.
