The International Community
We belong to an international Order that connects Grand Priories and members from many countries around shared Christian, chivalric, and charitable values.
Our place in the international Order
The Grand Magistral Priorate of Serbia is part of the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani Magnum–Magisterium Porto — the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem.
Belonging to the international community enables meetings, the exchange of experience, and cooperation with Grand Priories and other organizational units of the Order abroad. At the same time, the Grand Magistral Priorate of Serbia preserves its own identity and acts in accordance with its own Code, bylaws, and goals.
Cooperation
Three pillars of international cooperation
Cooperation with a purpose
International cooperation is not merely protocol for us. Its value lies in the exchange of knowledge, joint charitable undertakings, cultural and educational activities, nurturing Christian unity, and strengthening bonds among members of the Order.
We build this cooperation with mutual respect for different national traditions and ways of organizing. What unites us is a shared responsibility to make the Order's values visible through deeds.
Christian unity
The Order brings together Christians of different traditions who are ready to meet on common ground: faith in Christ, respect for human dignity, charity, brotherhood, and service.
The Grand Magistral Priorate of Serbia develops its identity within the Serbian spiritual, cultural, and historical space, while nurturing respect and cooperation with Christians of other traditions.
Joint gatherings
Members of the Grand Magistral Priorate of Serbia take part in international assemblies, ceremonies, working meetings, and joint projects when conditions and the consent of the competent leadership allow.
