Ordo Crucis (the Order of the Cross) is a High Church Lutheran religious society for men and women, priests and lay, in Church of Norway. The Order was founded in 1933 by professor Hans Ording, parish priest Odd Godal and Alex Johnson, later Bishop of Hamar. The Order desires to renew the Church from within. Brethren also work to introduce private confession and to celebrate the Eucharist with a more Catholic content. Brethren follow the Rule of Life of the Order. Members include e.g. Torgeir Havgar, Egil A. Wyller and Inge Lønning. Also few Roman Catholic priests have sought to join the Order.
