- International Secretariat of the Masonic Adogmatic Powers
The International Secretariat of the Masonic Adogmatic Powers (ISMAP) (French: "Secrétariat international Maçonnique des Puissances Adogmatiques" (SIMPA)) is an international organization of Masonic jurisdictions of masonic lodges. The jurisdictions involved are considered irregular by the
United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and most other Anglo-Saxon Grand Lodges, because they accept women, or do not require Masons to have a belief in aSupreme Being (Great Architect of the Universe ). The aim of the organization is to optimize the mutual coordinate cooperation.History
