What is the Grand Orient United States?
The Grand Orient USA, commonly referred to as GOUSA, plays a similar role to that of the Grand Lodges that operate at a State level in the USA, except that it has many differences in light of how it legislates and executes its policies. The GOUSA, as the main governing body and representative of Modern Freemasonry in the United States, operates in amity with the Grand Orient of France (GOdF) and many other Masonic organizations around the world.
