About the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar is a chivalric association of like-minded individuals who demonstrate seven core principles: Chivalry, honour, integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom & charity. Members take their inspiration from the highest ideals of the medieval Order of Knights Templar, originally founded by Hugues de Payens and eight fellow noblemen in Jerusalem circa 1118. These core principles have strong correlations to the Latin Rule of Templars, adopted by Hugues de Payens and others under the guidance of St Bernard of Clairvaux and Council of Troyes on 13th January 1129. It is expected that members commit themselves to these core principles which the Order recognises as being based on similar Christian principles. Other Projects Mark is a counsellor by profession and has a private practice in Chesterfield called Integrative Therapy & Counselling. He is one of the founding members of the Safe Haven Spiritual Community and runs an advanced meditation circle on Tuesday evenings. Other projects include running the Knight Templar Network and maintaining other various web sites.		I shall pass through THIS world but once.
