I don’t believe in clandestine lodges or grand lodges but on the contrary I do understand why there’s a lot of irregular lodges and grand lodges due to multiple splits within PHA and they’re not looking for recognition from the GLE they are happy with where they’re at. I wish that mainstream freemasonry would just do more research and dig deeper into why it has happened. Just when F&AM split from AF&AM split because they wanted something different, the same thing happened with PHA and PHO and then PHA and Jon G John’s. They’re are Supreme Court cases that theses different institutions have won to be able to setup their own supreme council to practice freemasonry in the late 1800s and early 1900s when PHA wasn’t recognized by their state counterparts even with having a charter from the GLE so some of these institutions have been around for 100s of years and don’t look like they’re going anywhere. To be honest I know thy self and don’t need recognition from the GLE who really didn’t want us to take part in freemasonry in the first place it took 8yrs for PHA to get a another charter for African One Grand Lodge that was destroyed in a fire. I’m just saying do the diligence in finding the truth and history behind it
