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.

The HALO Trust in Nagorno Karabakh, Syria, and Ukraine

The HALO Trust, as a non-religious and non-political charity, has been an innovator in, and a world-leading proponent of, war debris clearance and preventative educational programmes since the introduction to the international community of the concept of “humanitarian mine clearance” by the then Hazardous Areas Life-support Organisation (HALO) in 1988.

OSMTH notes that The HALO Trust’s early Annual Reports explained that the “original concept…” of The HALO Trust was “…of a medieval order of chivalry, in which old knights, hardened by the wars, keep the roads open for pilgrims to Jerusalem”, and that both organisations thus share a common source of inspiration for their current missions; which they then seek to put into practice in ways appropriate to the needs of the modern world.
