about slideAbout 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.  

1 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.

Lutheran Church Baptismal Site
in Jordan

The mission statement of the Lutheran Church Baptismal Site at Bethany-beyond-Jordan, states that:

“Bethany Beyond Jordan is a place of worship and meditation, of listening and learning. The focus is on the spiritual and historical, political, and environmental aspects of the place. Worship is central; pilgrims and visitors are encouraged to renew their baptismal vows. Thematic pilgrim walks and retreats, baptisms and conferences are organized at the Centre. The Pilgrim Centre is open to all churches, believers, and visitors. It is a place of fellowship and dialogue with all people of good will.”

OSMTH is very familiar with the work and witness of the Lutheran Church Baptismal Site at Bethany Beyond Jordan and considers it a great honour that OSMTH holds seats on the International Advisory Board for this significant religious institution, which is in the care of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land (ELCJHL).
