We belong to a much larger international association - OSMTH. This umbrella organisation is recognised as a Non-Governmental Organisation in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. OSMTH is the only Templar organisation to have this recognition and we work very hard to maintain this status with our national and international activities, with a primary focus on the traditional lands where the original Templars operated.
The Grand Priory welcomes membership enquiries, and you can find information on applying on the
Contact page . Membership is open to professed Christians over the age of eighteen, who are prepared to follow the Modern Rule (see link below) as a guide and focus for their lives.
We expect our Members to take an active role not only in the Grand Priory activities, but also in their local communities, wherever possible. If, for whatever reason, applicants cannot meet our requirements for full membership, consider becoming a "Friend of the Order". We are very proud of our Friends and the work they do, and their fellowship and attendance at local and national events.
