The medieval Knights Templar, best known to us today as the famed warriors of the Crusades, were a devout military religious Order that uniquely combined the roles of knight and monk in a way the Western medieval world had never seen before.

OSMTH MARKS RED WEDNESDAY- November 2020 2020

OSMTH joins with churches, governments, and civil society organisations around the world in marking Red Wednesday, 25 November 2020.

The colour red recalls our mourning for all Christians who suffer and die for their faithfulness to Christ’s message of peace and love.

Prayers for Beirut-August 2020

We are shocked because of the explosion in Beirut some three days ago. We express compassion and solidarity with Lebanese people and pray Merciful Creator of Life, comfort those who have lost their loved ones and heal the wounded. Turn this tragedy in Beirut to point for peace in the Near East.

We share three messages:
a message by the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches of Jerusalem
a message by Bishop Sani Ibrahim Azar, Bishop of ELCJHL.
a message from OSMTH.

Beirut and the Lebanese people will be included in our Weekly Prayer (Live on Facebook).
