British Templars

Temple Church is another sect of Templars dating back to the time of the Great Betrayal when the Templar Chapter was persecuted by the French Monarchy and the Papacy. Temple Church was formed by fugitive Templars who took refuge in England and established themselves there. In time they developed their own ideology and agenda, this one centered around reforming the Church and being a hidden force for proper Christianity. 
== Facts: ==
-Temple Church was originally a band of fugitive Templars who were enjoying the more lenient rule of the English Kings. While not officially banned, many of them chose to meet in secret, often in caves and out-of-the-way places anyway just to play it safe.
-In time these Templars became affected by the differences in English culture, particularly their idea of the Commonwealth (a precursor to the idea of men and women being owed certain rights). 
-Temple Church has strong relations and overlap with the Anglican Alliance and Knights of the Round Chapters. In fact, Templar Church very clearly played a large part in the formation of the Anglican Alliance - Templars fought on the side of parliament and served with the early Protestant missionaries functioning under Henry VIII. 
-Templar Church's HQ is located somewhere in Hertfordshire, England, and they maintain a loose network of agents and Preceptories that function across the world. They are particularly active in areas where Christianity is expanding or making a comeback (or being persecuted).
-Temple Church accepts Templars from any branch of the Templar family tree, so long as they are willing to work to defend the Church.

== Guardians of the Church: ==
Temple Church adopted a much more de-centralized form of Christianity, basically what the Protestants did, long before Martin Luther arrived on the scene. They were early proponents of the reforms that gave birth to modern Christianity and they have always been a silent force at work within the Church. They seek to promote and protect it from all enemies, both internal as well as external.
