Becoming a Knight in the modern L’Ordre du Temple de Jérusalem (OTJ) is not merely a ceremonial honour—it is a solemn commitment to live in accordance with the chivalric ideals of faith, charity, humility, and service. For those accepted as Postulants—candidates on the sacred Quest toward Knighthood—volunteering in active service is the vital first step in proving worthiness to don the white mantle and bear the red cross of the Order.
This booklet explores how postulants can effectively volunteer in service to OTJ, not only as a duty but as a transformative journey that prepares the soul, strengthens the character, and earns the honour of Knighthood.
