"This page is a list of all Masonic Grand Lodges that are recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) or recognized by Grand Lodges recognized by UGLE. It is not an exhaustive list of every possible Grand Lodge in existence (which would be an impossible task to complete). As UGLE is recognized as the authority with regards to the recognition of the Grand Lodges of mainstream Anglo-Saxon Freemasonry, and as their recognition list changes very infrequently, it is the easiest to track. See also Grand Orient."

"Grand Orient[/b] is an alternative name given to a governing body of "Craft", or "Blue Lodge", Freemasonry in a particular jurisdiction other than Grand Lodge. Some Grand Orients are not in a state of mutual recognition with the United Grand Lodge of England."
