The Osmth Order of Convent Contents THE OSMTH ORDER OF CONVENT CONTENTS Appendix to the Rules & Regulations, Section 12 approved by the Grand Magistral Council on 2 October in 2015 in Cologne, Germany INTRODUCTION The following Order of Convent and associated Ceremonies are designed to provide a standard template for use at international meetings of the Grand Magistral Council and / or the Grand Chap- ter General of OSMTH. It is recognized that: The standard template may necessarily have to be modified by the responsible Grand Magistral Officers, depending on the venue, timing, particular attendees and other circumstances of each individual event; Liturgical wording (e.g. in the Psalms and Blessings) varies in the Eastern and Western Church Traditions, which may also require modification at individual events; On occasion it may be necessary to modify the format of the Processional Entry and the Reces- sional Departure, if required by the authorities in charge of the church, chapel or cathedral where an event is taking place; The text of the C&I ceremonies may need from time to time to be translated in the language of the host country to allow non-English speaking members, guests and visitors to follow the ceremonies; Not all sections will be required at every event (e.g. there might be promotions to only one of the three higher ranks; installations of the three elected Grand Magistral Officeholders normally only occur once in three years); Not all relevant Grand Magistral Officeholders or other participants may be present at every event, and therefore another Officeholder may need to substitute (e.g. the Grand Commander may need make the OSMTH International Awards if the Grand Master is unable to be present); Officeholders assisting the Marshal General (e.g. the Master of Postulants; the Sword Bearer) may be drawn from the Host Grand Priory or from other Grand Priories present at the event; The role of Presiding International Chaplain may be taken by the Chaplain General, the Vicar General or the Provost General, depending on who is present at an individual event. Chaplains assisting the Presiding International Chaplain may be drawn from the host Grand Priory or from other Grand Priories present at the event. This standard template may also provide guidance for, but is not binding on, Member Grand Pri- ories for their own events. In the tradition of the Rule of the Templars of the original Order, all Convent meetings are opened and closed with prayer. These OSMTH Ceremonies draw on the pattern and texts used by the medieval and modern Orders and bring them together in a dignified form appropriate for our Chris- tian ecumenical and chivalric Order today. The Order is not secret and its ceremonies may be conducted in the presence of guests. While the business of the Order is not secret, the discussions and debates which precede a decision are not discussed outside of the Chapter, Council or Convent meeting (i.e. only the decision of the whole body should be disclosed and no mention should be made of any dissenting position within a meeting).

Spiritual Protector The Sections of the Procession move from the back of the church (or hall) up the central aisle to the front of the church (or hall) where the Marshal General and his Assistants direct the Sections to their relevant places. Upon arrival at the front of the church (or hall), banners of office or national flags may then be retired to the back of the church (or hall). When retired to the back of the church (or hall), the banners of office or national flags will not be required for the Recessional Departure. 2. OPENING CEREMONY AND PRAYER The Presiding International Chaplain and the Grand Commander move to stand in front of the Altar facing the assembled Convent. The Principal Sword Bearer places his sword on the Altar, or presents his sword to the Presiding International Chaplain who places it on the Altar. The Banner Bearer, the Beaucéant Bearer and selected others place their banners in their stands, and then move with the Principal Sword Bearer to their places. Presiding International Chaplain: O God, you are the help and shield of all who trust in you. To you we bring these symbols of loyalty, honor and devotion. May all who look upon them be reminded of their duty to you and to our Order, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Grand Commander: Our Master is God. Members of the Order: We are all brothers and sisters. Grand Commander: Non nobis, Domine, non nobis... Members of the Order: Sed nomini tuo, da gloriam Grand Commander: My Brothers and Sisters, please be seated as the Convent is about to begin. Grand Commander: Knights/Dames Sword-Bearers, please present the hilts of your swords to each Knight, Dame and Companion; and you, my Brothers and Sisters, touch the guard of the sword - whose hilt is the symbol of the cross, and also the symbol of chivalry - with the three central digits of your right hand. The Assistant Sword Bearers pass among the Members of the Order in the assembled Con- vent and then return to their places. When a large number of Members and Companions are present, Assistant Sword Bearers may present the hilt of their swords only to the first Member or Companion in each pew, or row of chairs, in order to save time needed for the remainder of the service. The Grand Commander turns to the Knight or Dame Protector. Grand Commander: Knight/Dame Protector, is this Convent protected? Knight/Dame Protector: It is so, Grand Commander. Grand Commander: In the name, and with the help, of God; I declare this Convent open in accordance with the ancient usages. [OPTIONAL] The Assisting Chaplain moves to the Lectern and reads the following, or an- other suitable, portion of scripture. Assisting Chaplain: "Finally then, find your strength in the Lord, in his mighty power. Therefore, take up God's armor; then you will be able to stand your ground when things are at their worst, to complete every task and still to stand. Stand firm, I say. Fasten on the belt of truth; for coat of mail put on integrity; let the shoes on your feet be the gospel of peace, to give you firm footing; and, with all these, take up the great shield of faith with which you will be able to withstand all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take salvation for helmet; for sword, take that which the Spirit gives you - the words that come from God." St Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 6, Verses 10 & 11 and 13 to 16. [OPTIONAL] The Assisting Chaplain moves to the Lectern and says the Templar Office Psalm 115, verses 1 to 11. Assisting Chaplain: 1. Not unto us, O Lord, Not unto us, but to your name give glory, for your mercy, and for your truth’s sake. 2. Why should the heathen say, Where now is their God? 3. But our God is in the heavens: he has done whatsoever has pleased him. 4. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. 5. They have mouths, but they do not speak: they have eyes, but they do not see; 6.

Prince Charles-Philippe Marie Louis of Orléans, Duke of An- jou and , Grand Master Emeritus; and Commandeur Bruce Sebree at the Chapter General in Rome As our wonderfully moving sojourn at the Order’s Chapter General in Rome now settles into inspiring memories, we must take stock of our tasks and talents as the next three years will be particularly important for the Order. Internationally, we march to- wards achieving canonical status as an Association of the Faithful, which several of our Grand Priories have already attained na- tionally. We must continue to work hard to grow our order. We must also do more to spread our message of hope, by helping those who are lost or in need. Yes, our work is fun and we are energized by our mission of mercy! So let’s give thanks for our growth in spirit, in numbers, and in our contributions to making a better world. Let’s also rejoice that our Grand Mas- ter H. E. Jan Count Dobrzenský z Dobrzenicz was admitted to the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St Gregory the Great in the rank of Knight Commander on 10 December 2016 (See Page 2 story: “St. Lazarus Grand Master, Knighted by the Pope).

It is non-political, ecumenical and non-denominational, its membership is by invitation and is open to men and women who are practising members of the Christian faith in good standing within their particular denomination. Its international membership consists of Roman Catholic, Anglican, Protestant, Orthodox and other Christian denominations. Its members are committed to seeking to live their lives with charity in a manner that embodies the Christian spirit. The Order is dedicated to the care and assistance of the poor and the defence of the Christian faith and the principles of Christian chivalry. The Order has been in continual existence since the year 1098 and was established in Australia in 1979. The Grand Priory of Australia comprises seven Commanderies centred on the various capital cities. Membership is confined to a Commandery. Commandery activities include meetings, special religious services and fundraising events. Once a year a National Chapter- effectively a general meeting of the Grand Priory – is held in a capital city over four days and to which all members are invited. A highlight of the National Chapter weekend is the Investiture of new members and the advancement in rank or award of others. Benefits of Membership According to our Christian beliefs, charity is held to be the ultimate expression of the human spirit, bringing us closer to the true essence of God.

  • Taking the Veil: Clothing and the Transformation of Identity
    Taking the Veil: Clothing and the Transformation of Identity Danielle Rives Centre d'anthropologie de Toulouse (E.H.E.S.S.) I spoke my name in religion. He asked me for my family name as well. I spoke it out loud without shame because In such an encounter, Speaking our name, When I want to renounce it for Him, Is like speaking the name of God.1 Most female monastic rules include a description of a ceremony for taking the veil: "Receiving the Habit," "Offering the Habit," "Ceremony for Veiling and Profession" – the variety of descriptions emphasizes the solemnity of a celebration in which postulants enter into a new estate. This essay analyzes both the symbolic and material aspects of this moment in which identity is transformed. Taking the veil is a rite of passage whose every aspect, including both gesture and speech, has been carefully formalized. This essay focuses first on the ceremony's script, in which clothing draws together the postulant, her family and friends, and the monastic community that welcomes her. I then turn to an analysis of the transformation of the novice's identity, examining both how the performance of the ordinary acts of monastic life 1 Angélique de Saint Jean Arnaud d'Andilly, Aux Portes des ténèbres. Relation de captivité (Paris: La Table Ronde, 2005), 30-1. 465 466 Danielle Rives reveals this new identity and how the nun inhabits this doubled personality. The traditional ceremony has origins dating back to the beginning of monastic institutions, but it assumed its present form during the Counter Reformation.

  • The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.
