The Commemorative Order St Thomas of Acon completes the Masonic Knight Templar experience rather beautifully in that it encourages an exemplary practice of the gentler lessons of our wonderful Knight Templar Order – namely: Humility, Brotherly Love in Practical Charity and Care and Concern for Others – it is, we believe, expressly encouraging us to bring out the inner Almoner in all of us, if you will.
It is a uniquely English Chivalric Order based on a true historical account that can directly trace its “heart of service” back to the Crusades and it includes a number of quirky and yet enormously endearing customs and usages.
We have absolutely no doubt that those of you who wish to develop your “Inner Almoner” further, will benefit from the lessons evident in St Thomas of Acon story. The thought provoking spiritual nature of our Ceremonies and the unique manner in which they are conducted, makes this a very special Order indeed.
