In the beginning a Templar Knight of the Austrian Order and a US Knight Templar began to converse and found that they had more in common than they had differences.  Being Knights at heart they began to work together with the dream of beginning a new “FELLOWSHIP” of Templars.

These knights began to work together in partnership to develop a new organization based upon “Kindred FELLOWSHIP”—focusing on our similarities with other Templar Orders rather than upon differences or upon “Militaristic Uniformity”.

These knights drafted a plan for“Templar Fellowships” and devised proposed details for every level of a local, state, national and international organization of Fellowships.  Choosing to work closely with the Austrian Order of Templars these knights sought, through their fellowships with the Austrian Order, to have these two bodies be in Fellowship with each other.

The TFA is a dynamic fellowship of likeminded friends who want to study, explore, and share ideas concerning Life’s mysteries. We are based on the chivalric principles of the historic Knight Templars. What are those principles? truth, compassion, tolerance, purpose, respect, responsibility, honesty, integrity, and good reputation. These principles serve as tools in building the Temple of the Body and Soul. The TFA is designed to enhance personal development through study, creative investigation and service. Creative investigation then opens doorways to new horizons.
