No. This highlights one of the primary differences between Grand Orient lodges and mainstream Anglo-American, Blue , or AF&AM lodges like the Grand Lodge of Idaho. Anglo-American Grand Lodges are based on a “closed” system, which means they only recognize their own lodges as “regular”. Grand Orient lodges are members of the “open” Masonic system used by almost every other Masonic obedience around the world. This means they recognize many obediences including co-gender Masonic lodges, Prince Hall, Blue lodges, etc.
