In October of 2025, the delegation from the United Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, NJ PHA, USA, Inc., led by Sovereign Grand Commander Dr. Melvin J. Bazemore, attended the 139th Annual Session of the United Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, Prince Hall Affiliation, USA, Inc. Treated in royal fashion, the weekend events and forums were spectacular showcasing grand hospitality. Sovereign Grand Commander Dr. Corey D. Hawkins Sr., received all guests which also included visiting Sovereign Grand Commanders from the Southern Jurisdiction, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, Brazil, and Haiti, as well as the leadership of the Prince Hall Conference of Grand Masters. Most Worshipful Brother L. Lamont Banks, Grand Master of Tennessee Prince Hall Masons, laid out the red carpet for all. The delegation was impressed with the educational experiences offered throughout the sessions including the seminars and the excellent progress made by the APEX program. The opportunity to fellowship with Fraters from across the United States and the globe to converse of all aspects of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite always presents unique opportunities to advance in knowledge and view ritualistic practices. It was made even more special in witnessing the coronation of the sitting Governor of the State of Maryland, Honorable Wes Moore. These highlights and the words from the visiting dignitaries affirmed the excellence of the session. The delegation is looking forward to attending in 2026.
