Welcome to the web site of Revelation Lodge No. 5, Free and Accepted Masons under the Auspices of the Regular Grand Lodge of Virginia, Ancient and Honourable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons. We hope you enjoy your visit as we will spread the cement and teachings of Ancient Craft Freemasonry throughout our web site. The Organization of Lodges under Dispensation When seven Master Mason, at least, are desirous of organizing a Lodge, they apply by petition to the Grand Master of the Jurisdiction for the necessary authority. This petition must set forth that they now are, or have been, members of a legally constituted Lodge, and must assign a satisfactory reason to the Grand Master for their application. It must also be recommended by the nearest Lodge, and must designate the place where the Lodge is intended to be held, and the names of the persons whom the petitioners desire to be appointed as Master and Wardens. Seven things must therefore concur to give regularity to the form of a petition for a Dispensation from the Grand Master. 1. There must be seven signers at least. 2. They must all be Master Masons. 3. They must be in good standing. 4. There must be a good reason for the organization of a Lodge at that time and place. 5. The place of meeting must be designated. 6. The names of the three officers must be stated. 7. It must be recommend by the nearest Lodge.
