Knights Templar is an international philanthropic Masonic order affiliated with Freemasonry. In some countries it forms part of the York Rite, while in others it is a separate order on its own.
Knights Templar meet in Preceptories or Commanderies and dependent on the Masonic jurisdiction may be attached to craft lodges or other appendant bodies.
Membership in the Order is open to Master Masons who are willing to swear to defend the Christian faith, who have been exalted into a Holy Royal Arch Chapter, and hold membership in a Council of Cryptic Masons.
