Why become a Knight Templar? Well for me, I had an interest in the medieval period and history in general, which lead to discovering the Knights Templar. Reading the history of the Templars, I learned what they stood for and what they accomplished.  I also looked at their deep belief in God and protecting pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land. I could reflect on my own beliefs and willingness to defend the faith. With everything going on in the world, I searched for an organization and I was happy to find a Knights Templar Order that held this view, "We are a Christian (Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox) fraternal and chivalric Order that has no Masonic or political affiliations. We are ecumenical in that we are not affiliated with any single Christian denomination, but represent all of Christendom, organized for the fellowship and networking of like-minded believers." and shortly after I started my journey as a Templar.
