FREEMASONRY:
Uruguay
The World wide Masonry is made up of two principal sources:
Uruguayan masonry is actually represented by three different potences:
Grand Orient of Uruguay (G.O.U.)
The Grand Orient of Uruguay is quite recent (it has been created on the begginings of the 90´decade) and gained their REGULAR MASONIC POTENCE title from the Grand Orient of BRAZIL. The G.O.U. allows both religious and NON religious people to get into their columns. They only accept MEN.
Gran Latinoamerican Orient (G.O.L.A.)
The Grand Latinoamerican Orient is also of very recent creation (similar to the G.O.U.) but it depends directly from the Grand Orient of France, and has the characteristic of allowing also WOMEN into their columns.
Grand Lodge of Uruguay (G.L.U.)
The Grand Lodge of Uruguay depends of the Grand Lodge of England and has more than 100 years in our coutnries.
