A Sacred Templar Ceremony was held on March 1st, 2017 in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado to consecrate the first new Templar Priories in more than 700 years. Standing in for Grand Master Prince Matthew of Thebes, the Order’s Grand Commander, Viscount Michael Henry Dunn welcomed four thriving spiritual communities into the Templar Order:

– The Priory of the Ark of Ascension
– The Priory of the White Stone
– The Priory of the Magdalen Temple of Ascension
– The Priory of Sovereign Grail Queens

A priory is an autonomous spiritual community aligned with Templar values and missions, benefiting from the restored spiritual and historic Templar heritage as well as the Order’s status as a nation-state subject of international law.

The Order of the Temple of Solomon Foundation is a non-profit organization based in the United States, with all donations fully Tax Deductible by law under 26 USC 170 (a)(1) and 170(c)(2) as ‘exclusively for religious, charitable or educational purposes,’ and with statutory ‘501(a) Status’ as fully Tax Exempt by law under 501(a) as a ‘civic organization for social welfare’ or ‘fraternal society for religious and educational purposes’.

EXPANDED TEMPLAR MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCE –
NEW ONLINE PLATFORM IN PROCESS

The Grand Mastery of the Templar Order is glad to announce the imminent launch of a new Membership Platform to deepen the experience of authentic Templar training and community for the enthusiastically committed men and women who have chosen the Templar way of life.  Full implementation of the Memberclicks Platform is expected to take up to 60 days from the date of this newsletter. In the interim, the Grand Mastery directed that EXISTING MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS BE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED until the new platform is fully in place. At that time, the Order will individually contact all members of the Order, to ensure that each of us has full access to the new membership experience.

In this time when there is pervasive distraction and disconnection, many of us yearn for the warmth and support of human contact with a vital spiritual community, anchored in the practice of timeless truths.­­­ The growing Templar family will enjoy fellowship in person at live gatherings and trainings, and through a versatile and secure online platform, which is in the launch process at this time. Features of this Templar Network (utilizing the well-established MemberClicks platform) include:

  • Efficient Online Training and Templar Sacred Activism Courses through sequential downloads of proprietary Templar legacy teachings, and video recordings of live webinar events.
  • Private networking available to all Templars, allowing them to make their own friend and peer connections, share photos, and send member-to-member messages.
  • Quickly share info and photos with interest groups via user-created circles.
  • Enable sharing / displaying and tagging of photos with full-featured profile photo galleries.

A Powerful Templar Directory

  • Ease of networking with a searchable online directory with varying levels of public, password-protected or specific group-based access.
  • Enable visitors to search for members by address or zip code to find local providers (protections will be in place for members only access to personal information such as phone and address).
  • Gives Templars another place to share information with their connections on their profile walls.

(Official Seal of the Templar Inn of Court)

INTER-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ESTABLISHES “TEMPLAR INN OF COURT” – A “TRADITIONAL INN OF COURT FOR THE PROFESSIONAL BAR”

The Templar Inn of Court is the restored direct continuation of its original 12th century tradition, providing specialized training for Barristers of the independent Legal Profession.  In the modern era, this authentic medieval institution was re-constituted as an autonomous official body of the inter-governmental organization (IGO) Ignita Veritas United (IVU).  It is thus the first Inn of Court in history to hold Diplomatic Status as an IGO official body, at the supra-governmental level of conventional international law.

In connection with the Inter-Governmental Bar Council (IGBC), Templar Inn has a mandate to provide education and training on “duties of the lawyer and of human rights and fundamental freedoms recognized by… international law” (UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers, Article 9).

Templar Inn of Court serves as a post-graduate training center, in the form of a professional law society, providing qualifications for admission to the international Bar and subsequent high-level practice as a Barrister.  Under Crown Patronage of a restored 12thcentury historical institution, it teaches the ancient and medieval “secret” knowledge of the authentic customs of the Common Law system, which empowers the independent Legal and Judiciary Professions, directly from the original teachings of the Knights Templar.
