The Holy Order of Godly Men 

was founded on June 19, 1997 when Marvin Turner Trayler 

was dubbed a knight of our order. Our order has evolved from an order 

that recognized men whom others could follow as examples, 

into an order that qualified candidates can join. 

It is not for the faint hearted or those who do not want accountability. 

We aspire to live lives of excellence, even though we know 

that no one is perfect. We believe in the symbols of 

knighthood and of the vows of martyrdom. 

We have adopted a rule of life as an example for us to live by.
