become a knight

I’ve been working on this goal in earnest since my last post. As the knighthood was deeply rooted in Christianity, I have been looking towards that relationship mostly. It is interesting to note that though knights were warriors of the highest order, they followed a religion of peace.

The real parallel I’ve found between knighthood and Christendom is that where knights often battled in a physical way, the Christian conducts his struggles in the hearts and minds of mankind.

For anyone who wishes to look further into this, perhaps they should look at Eph. 6:11-17.

Also, I would encourage those who wish to delve into the moral side of knighthood to ask about the benifits, both tactical and moral, of an agape-based life.

But people of knightly caliber don’t exactly abound in most parts of the world. Even in the ancient homes of chivalry those values hardly exist. It’s quite sad, really.
