History
The founder of the Great Women's Lodge Memphis-Mitzraim is sister Julien Bleyer. Obedience dates back to the creation of the Hathor lodges in 1965 and the Delta in 1971 [1] . In 1981, the creation of VZHLMM [1] [2] was constituted.
The successor to the post of general grand master was Sister Claude Darsche, who changed the obsolete title of general grand master to grand master in 2005. She gave independence to the Great Latin American Egyptian bed.
VZHLMM is a member of the association of French mutually recognized great lodges called "French Freemasonry".
VZHLMM has 1000 sisters in 50 boxes throughout France, including overseas territories, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy [3] .
VZHLMM's participation in French Freemasonry
In 1974, the Confederation of French Freemasonry (CPM) was founded in France as a union of French Masonic obedience. But CPM remained on paper [4] .
In 2001, a Freemasonry obedience association called French Freemasonry (FM) was founded in France. The new association includes nine French great lodges [4] :
1. The great east of France .
2. French Federation "Human Rights" of the International Masonic Masonic Order "Human Rights" .
3. The Great Women's Lodge of France .
4. The great traditional and symbolic box Opera .
5. The Great Women's Lodge Memphis-Mitzraim
6. The national French box.
7. The Great Mixed Universal Lodge .
8. The Great Mixed Lodge of France .
9. The Great Box of France .
Mutual confessions in this group are formalized.
In October 2002, at the initiative of these nine organizations of French Freemasonry, the French Freemasonry Institute (IMF) was established. The Institute deals with the development of Freemasonry in France, as well as issues of interaction between various organizations of French Freemasonry.
