Dear Grand Priors and National Entity Chiefs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the protection of our Lord Jesus Christ, our noble Order continues to grow and prosper and that requires maintaining organized procedures. We will re-institute a procedure that was followed up until the Fontes era \u2013 individual membership numbers that are held in a central registry. Under Fontes, when a member joined the Order, he\/she was issued a number which was listed on the registry held by Fontes in Portugal. Every member had his\/her unique number and could, upon request, receive a membership certificate with that number \u2013 the number proved that one had been accepted\/invested as a member of the Templar Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to re-institute that procedure with some modifications. Each Grand Priory\/National Entity will issue membership numbers to its knights and dames. The sequence of numbering will be up to the decision of each Grand Prior, but each number will begin with the initials OSMTJ followed by the internationally recognized two-digit country code for each nation, e.g. US for the United States, ES for Spain, GE for Georgia, etc., followed by the number issued by the Grand Priory. For example, a knight member of the Grand Priory of France would be assigned the number OSMTJ FR 156. An individual knight or dame may only prove their membership in the Order by referring to their membership number \u2013 no number = no recognition as a member of OSMTJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The numbering procedure should be started immediately in each Grand Priory and should be completed by the end of 2020. Only by an individual member request, they may receive by email a certificate with their name, rank and number from their Grand Prior. Each Grand Prior is required to send a copy of their membership registry to the Grand Secretary General by the end of 2020, as well as forward additional numbers when issued after each investiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are examining the possibility that if a knight or dame requests a membership certificate for framing, signed by me, printed in color on parchment-like paper, we can do that for a small fee plus postage. More information will follow as we assess member interest in framed certificates and develop the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I truly pray that God blesses us with protective measures soon to allow us to hold regular investitures and that I will be able to visit those investitures in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fraternally,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chers grands prieurs et chefs d\u2019entit\u00e9s nationales :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sous la protection de notre Seigneur J\u00e9sus-Christ, notre noble Ordre continue de cro\u00eetre et de prosp\u00e9rer et cela exige le maintien de proc\u00e9dures organis\u00e9es. Nous r\u00e9instituerons une proc\u00e9dure qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 suivie jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e8re des Fontes \u2013 num\u00e9ros d\u2019adh\u00e9sion individuels qui sont d\u00e9tenus dans un registre central. Sous Fontes, lorsqu\u2019un membre a rejoint l\u2019Ordre, il a re\u00e7u un num\u00e9ro qui figurait sur le registre d\u00e9tenu par Fontes au Portugal. Chaque membre avait son num\u00e9ro unique et pouvait, sur demande, recevoir un certificat d\u2019adh\u00e9sion avec ce num\u00e9ro \u2013 le nombre a prouv\u00e9 qu\u2019un membre avait \u00e9t\u00e9 accept\u00e9\/investi en tant que membre de l\u2019Ordre des Templiers. Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je veux re-instituer cette proc\u00e9dure avec quelques modifications. Chaque Grand Prieur\u00e9\/Entit\u00e9 nationale d\u00e9livrera le nombre de membres \u00e0 ses chevaliers et dames. La s\u00e9quence de num\u00e9rotation sera \u00e0 la hauteur de la d\u00e9cision de chaque Grand Prior, mais chaque num\u00e9ro commencera par les initiales OSMTJ suivies par le code de pays \u00e0 deux chiffres internationalement reconnu pour chaque nation, par exemple les \u00c9tats-Unis pour les \u00c9tats-Unis, ES pour l\u2019Espagne, GE pour la G\u00e9orgie, etc. a deux-chiffreit international code postal, suivi du num\u00e9ro \u00e9mis par le Grand Prieur\u00e9. Par exemple, un chevalier membre du Grand Prieur\u00e9 de France se verrait attribuer le num\u00e9ro OSMTJ FR 156. Un chevalier ou une dame ne peut prouver son appartenance \u00e0 l\u2019Ordre qu\u2019en se r\u00e9f\u00e9rant \u00e0 son num\u00e9ro d\u2019adh\u00e9sion \u2013 aucun num\u00e9ro = aucune reconnaissance en tant que membre de l\u2019OSMTJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La proc\u00e9dure de num\u00e9rotation devrait \u00eatre imm\u00e9diatement commenc\u00e9e dans chaque Grand Prieur\u00e9 et devrait \u00eatre termin\u00e9e d\u2019ici la fin de 2020. Ce n\u2019est que par une demande individuelle de membre, ils peuvent recevoir par e-mail un certificat avec leur nom, grade et num\u00e9ro de leur Grand Prieur chaque est tenu d\u2019envoyer une copie de leur adh\u00e9sion registre au Grand Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral d\u2019ici la fin de 2020, ainsi que de transmettre des num\u00e9ros suppl\u00e9mentaires lorsqu\u2019ils sont d\u00e9livr\u00e9s apr\u00e8s chaque investiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nous examinons la possibilit\u00e9 que si un chevalier ou une dame demande un certificat d\u2019adh\u00e9sion pour le cadrage, sign\u00e9 par moi, imprim\u00e9 en couleur sur du papier parchemin-like, nous pouvons le faire pour une petite taxe plus frais d\u2019affranchissement. De plus amples renseignements suivront au fur et \u00e0 mesure que nous \u00e9valuerons l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat des membres pour les certificats encadr\u00e9s et que nous \u00e9laborerons les d\u00e9tails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Je prie vraiment pour que Dieu nous b\u00e9nisse avec des mesures de protection bient\u00f4t pour nous permettre d\u2019organiser des investitures r\u00e9guli\u00e8res et que je puisse visiter ces investitures en personne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fraternellement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estimados Grandes Priores y Jefes de Entidades Nacionales:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bajo la protecci\u00f3n de nuestro Se\u00f1or Jesucristo, nuestra noble Orden sigue creciendo y prosperando y eso requiere mantener procedimientos organizados. Volveremos a instituir un procedimiento que se sigui\u00f3 hasta la era Fontes \u2013 n\u00fameros de membres\u00eda individuales que se mantienen en un registro central. Bajo Fontes, cuando un miembro se uni\u00f3 a la Orden, se le emiti\u00f3 un n\u00famero que figuraba en el registro en poder de Fontes en Portugal. Cada miembro ten\u00eda su n\u00famero \u00fanico y pod\u00eda, previa solicitud, recibir un certificado de membres\u00eda con ese n\u00famero \u2013 el n\u00famero demostr\u00f3 que uno hab\u00eda sido aceptado\/invertido como miembro de la Orden Templaria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quiero volver a instituir ese procedimiento con algunas modificaciones. Cada Gran Priorario\/Entidad Nacional emitir\u00e1 n\u00fameros de membres\u00eda a sus caballeros y damas. La secuencia de numeraci\u00f3n estar\u00e1 a la altura de la decisi\u00f3n de cada Gran Prior, pero cada n\u00famero comenzar\u00e1 con las iniciales OSMTJ seguidas del c\u00f3digo de pa\u00eds de dos d\u00edgitos reconocido internacionalmente para cada naci\u00f3n, por ejemplo, ESTADOS Unidos para los Estados Unidos, ES para Espa\u00f1a, GE para Georgia, etc., seguido del n\u00famero emitido por el Gran Priorizado. Por ejemplo, a un caballero miembro del Gran Priorizado de Francia se le asignar\u00eda el n\u00famero OSMTJ FR 156. Un caballero o dama individual s\u00f3lo puede probar su pertenencia a la Orden refiri\u00e9ndose a su n\u00famero de membres\u00eda \u2013 sin n\u00famero \u2013 sin reconocimiento como miembro de OSMTJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El procedimiento de numeraci\u00f3n debe iniciarse inmediatamente en cada Gran Prior y deber\u00eda estar completado a finales de 2020. S\u00f3lo por una solicitud de miembro individual, pueden recibir por correo electr\u00f3nico un certificado con su nombre, rango y n\u00famero de su Grand Prior. Cada Grand Prior est\u00e1 obligado a enviar una copia de su membres\u00eda registro al Gran Secretario General a finales de 2020, as\u00ed como reenviar n\u00fameros adicionales cuando se emite despu\u00e9s de cada investidura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Estamos examinando la posibilidad de que si un caballero o dama solicita un certificado de membres\u00eda para enmarcar, firmado por m\u00ed, impreso en color en papel de pergamino, podemos hacerlo por una peque\u00f1a tarifa m\u00e1s franqueo. M\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n seguir\u00e1 a medida que eval\u00faemos el inter\u00e9s de los miembros en los certificados enmarcados y desarrollemos los detalles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruego sinceramente que Dios nos bendiga con medidas de protecci\u00f3n pronto para permitirnos realizar investiduras regulares y que pueda visitar a los investitures en persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fraternalmente<\/p>\n\n\n\n
