Obligation

Our experience and long service to mankind in many fields combined together in our historical Order can play a very significant role in shaping things to come, the humanitarian way we want them to be.

We do not fight with a sword ....

… for all that is good or right; our weapons are our words and deeds – the examples of our actions! We espouse the idea of a worldwide brotherhood of all people on this earth, with no discrimination based on skin color, religious beliefs, political leaning or sexual orientation.

We strive to help others, whether it be with labor or money, wherever the need is. Anyone who feels motivated by the principles of the Order is welcomed to contact us to apply for admission.
