Tucked away on Tucker Road in Bentleigh, the Temple Society Australia beckons. It’s a place of quiet contemplation, but its story is anything but quiet. The Temple Society Australia isn’t your typical church. Formed in 1950, it represents a unique chapter in Australian history, bringing together Templers who had journeyed from Palestine after internment during World War II. The Temple Society Australia isn’t connected to the medieval Knights Templar. The name “Templer” comes from the New Testament idea of each person being a temple of God’s spirit. This belief in individual spirituality is at the heart of their faith. Here at the Temple Society Australia, the focus is on fostering Templer beliefs through Sunday services, Sunday school, and even their own monthly publication, the Templer Record. Community is paramount. The halls here in Bentleigh, as well as in Bayswater and Boronia, serve as gathering places for religious services and community events. They’re a testament to the Templers’ resilience and their commitment to preserving their unique heritage in a new land. The Temple Society Australia is more than just a building. It’s a living testament to a community that found a new home and continues to thrive, sharing its unique faith and history with the world.
