First of all I would like to say that the Orange Order is a
Protestant Organisation which although having a strong membership in
Northern Ireland and other countries of the United Kingdom is not a
Northern Irish or indeed an exclusively British organisation. The
Orange Institution is in fact a worldwide organisation which defends
and maintains the Protestant religion. The Orange Order has Grand
Lodges (National Governing Bodies) established in Ireland, England,
Scotland, USA, Canada, Togo, Australia, New Zealand, and Ghana -
that's four continents! As well as these established areas growth in
recent years has resulted in areas previously without an Orange
prescence having Lodges formed - such as Poland. There are also
interested parties in joining the Orange Institution or those who are
already members in other countries forming new Lodges spreading the
Orange even further and defending our religion.

Countries which had Lodges but due to revolution, terrorism, conflict
or oppression were put out of existance have expressed new interest
in restoring Orangeism - such as South Africa where the Aparteid
system persecuted Orangeism because it had members who were from a
variety of ethnic backgrounds, Nigeria where there are members who
have to hide there membership because of the Islamic government
(Nigeria was the first country in West Africa to have Orange lodges
and infact exported Orangeism to Togo and Ghana).

If you want to join the Orange Order regardless of where you are
located, ethnic background or sex - you just need to be a Protestant,
