About OSMTH

On behalf of our members in some 40 nations worldwide, we welcome you to the website of the best known international Templar Order in the world, and the only Templar Order recognized in Special Consultative Status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

Templar Legacy

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.

Membership

Membership within the Order is geographically-based, therefore applications of interest from the OSMTH International site are referred on to your closest or most pertinent national Grand Priory.

Ideals of Knighthood

To provide an opportunity for the practice of ecumenical Christianity.
To encourage and promote Christian humanitarian work and charity generally, but especially in support of people in the Middle East.

"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory."
To support the precepts of Christian Chivalry.
To investigate and emulate the historical ideals of the ancient Order.
To form and administer establishments, councils, associations, centers or other subordinate bodies to facilitate the work of the Order in all geographical areas.
