Continental Freemasonry in North America

Continental Freemasonry in North America is rare, particularly if Mexico is excluded, but there are a number of continental style jurisdictions active.

There are small English speaking groups, such as the George Washington Union (G.W.U.), the Omega Grand Lodge of the State of New York and the Grand Orient of the United States (G.O.U.S.), that see themselves as belonging to the European, Continental tradition. The Women's Grand Lodge Of Belgium (W.G.L.B.) and the Grand Orient of France (G.O.F.) also have liberal lodges in North-America.

The French speaking Grande Loge Nationale du Canada and the Spanish speaking Serenísima Gran Logia de Lengua Española are also active and members of CLIPSAS.
