About Imperial Chivalry of St. George
Imperial Chivalry of St. George is an international Chivalric, Christian and Humanitarian Organization.
The Order arose from a group of Knightly men whom desire to continue the honor of military, chivalry, and traditions of nobility set forth by the ancient Orders of Chivalry.
The purpose of the Order is to promote the Glory of God and the ideals of Chivalry and Knightly actions in accordance with ancient traditions. The Order’s goal is to be true to the teachings of God through guidance of the Christian Church. This shall be accomplished through the virtues of Charity and Knightly Brotherhood. The Order shall carry out its charitable work without distinction of religion, race, origin, or age.
Within the Order, a community of Christian Brotherhood between Knights shall be expected. A fellow Knight shall be viewed as a Brother, Friend, Resource, Confidant, and be treated with the value Christ has given to us. The door, shoulder, ear, heart, or anything of a Knight shall not be closed to a Brother Knight. The strength of Christian Chivalry exhibited by the Order shall become an example for all of society by holding the principles Christ demonstrated to us as the highest rule of order, Love your Brother as Christ has Loved you shall be the rule to govern the lives of Brother Knights. This will assist each Brother Knight to have and grow their spiritual and moral strength. Spiritual and moral growth of Brother Knights shall be facilitated also through the philosophy of the Order being an ecumenical Christian order. This philosophy shall maintain each Brother Knight to have an open heart and mind regarding the spiritual needs and views of other Brother Knights. This is paramount because a Brother Knight shall never degrade another Brother Knight’s views and beliefs.
The Order is a Christian Order of Knighthood dedicated to seeking God and Chivalric principles in our lives. We shall strive to promote understanding between all people that will promote love and respect. We stand for supporting the poor, sick, unjustly accused, supporting freedom and free speech, and the well being of the nation each Ballei calls home.
The Order shall be subject to those laws of individual Nations and States or Provinces in where a body of the Order exists. No Knight shall act contrary to the laws of their nation, and each Knight is expected to uphold the ideals and laws of their home country.
The Order will fulfill its institutional tasks by carrying out social works by aiding those who are unable to assist themselves. Administering and admitting councils, associations, centers, and other subordinate bodies shall be necessary. These bodies of the Order shall reach out to local and national organizations that have charitable goals and ideals. The Order shall also reach out to other organizations, which can come into contact with those the order will never be able to come into contact with personally. However, any outreach shall be required to have a charitable or beneficial effect on society at large. The Order will also reach out to other kindred Orders and Bodies to achieve the goals of the Order.
