Dear Brethren,
I am informing you that on September 2, 2024, I took the initiative to contact the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Greece (GLG). My purpose was twofold: to introduce myself as the new Grand Master of the National Grand Lodge of Greece (NGLG), as we had not previously met, and to convey my intention to initiate discussions aimed at finding a common solution for the unity and progress of Greek Freemasonry.

My proposal included three alternative options:
a) mutual recognition of the two Regular Grand Lodges,
b) a joint declaration for the sharing of Masonic territory,
c) the initiation of discussions to create a United Grand Lodge from the two Regular Grand Lodges, with each maintaining its autonomy, sovereignty, history, and membership.

Moreover, as a gesture of respect toward the GLG, I suggested that the first Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Greece, should it be established, come from within their ranks.

The Grand Master of GLG stated that he would only consider the option of reunification and the absorption of the NGLG. My response was that 38 years of history cannot simply be erased, nor can the will of the 1,500 brothers of the NGLG who wish to continue, nor the 85 recognitions from Regular Grand Lodges around the world. I expressed my belief that in a process of compromise, each side should be willing to make concessions; however, my proposal was not accepted.

The conversation took place in a friendly atmosphere, though it did not bear fruit. We concluded the discussion with positive and amicable feelings. My efforts toward the advancement of Greek Freemasonry and the potential for all brothers, regardless of their Regular authority, to coexist, communicate, and mutually recognize each other, will continue. I declare that I am fully available and willing to work hard to realize any of my above proposals.

With respect,
The Grand Master
