MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT OF CLIPSAS

​

 

Very Respectable Grand Masters, old Presidents and Illustrious Sisters and Brothers of Obediences Signatories of the Strasbourg Appeal, members of CLIPSAS.

 

CLIPSAS returns to Istanbul after 22 years. That's an excellent new.

 

Our 62nd Colloquium and General Assembly is approaching and I wish, with my Brothers and Sisters of the Bureau François, Miriam, Stéphane, Franco, Jean-Claude, Marie-Thérèse, Manuel and Mariela, to wish you the most fraternal welcome.

 

Everything is ready to welcome you.

 

Our Brothers and Sisters of the Liberal Grand Lodge of Turkey and the Feminine Grand Lodge of Turkey have done a magnificent job in planning the Colloquium and the General Assembly of the year 2023. They have also ensured that a health commission is always present at our side, respecting the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the turkish authorities.

 

We are all part of an inclusive liaison center representing a common passion for the purpose of building, with total freedom of conscience and perfect tolerance, a Universal Union Chain with humanistic values.

For four days, we will have the lights of many Obediences from Africa, Asia, America and Europe. We will take important decisions for the future of the Centre d'Union de l'Appel de Strasbourg and our chain will be strengthened with new and precious links.

 

A large attendance is expected and we will be delighted to be part of the work to be held in Istanbul. I would like to express my gratitude and my joy to be able to hold you in my arms and give you the kiss of peace from May 18 to 21, 2023 in Turkey.

 

With the assurance of my highest fraternal considerations,

 

 

IVAN HERRERA MICHEL

President
