Over the last couple of days, I have had extended conversations with Bro. Stephen Quest and his new venture , the Foundation of Universal Freemasonry. This is a new confederation of independent Masonic lodges based upon the principles of peaceful coexistence , freedom and harmony. While it is not itself a Post-Modern Masonic group, they are friendly to Post-Modern Freemasonry and we can consider them to be our Brethren and friends.
The Foundation of Universal Freemasonry comes from a very passionate and idealistic platform. While I can say that I would do some things differently, I appreciate and support another avenue of choice being made available to sincere seekers of Masonic light.
This opens up yet another potential for partnerships between the 1613 Nation , and those of different communities. The Foundation of Universal Freemasonry will provide another choice for those seeking independent forms of the Craft away from the authoritarian Grand Lodge/Grand Orient system.
The Foundation considers themselves a force for Masonic reformation. Those who are interested in that now actually have a viable and progressive option. The 1613 Nation supports our Brethren in their endeavour and we consider ourselves in peaceful coexistence and cooperation.

Well boys and girls, the website for the Foundation seems to have taken a dump. The Yahoo groups have also gone without as much as a vapor trail left behind.
After further discussions with Mr. Quest it became clear that the Foundation was simply a means to an end for his Masonic Museum/Hotel and Resort plans for his land in Arizona. So much for that.
I remain a supporter of all independents. I'll also remain a believer in the greater good of humanity. Even if I'm proven wrong once in a while.
