Strategy[]
The Grand Master's Chapel is a brilliant building for every civilization that has a great 
Faith output, as they can quickly "pray" an army into existence. Religious civilizations such as Spain, Georgia, Mali, Ethiopia, and Poland, who place great emphasis on spreading and defending their religion, should pick up this building along with Theocracy as their Tier 2 government.
Georgia in particular can make great use of the Grand Master's Chapel, since Tamar can get Faith from unit kills. Although Indonesia doesn't fit the above description as well as the other civilizations, building the Grand Master's Chapel will make them the only civilization in the game that can purchase both land and naval units with Faith, thus allowing them to raise a huge army and navy even if their 
Production output is poor. This building also has great synergy with Norway, which will be looking to pillage a lot of tiles regardless.
Civilopedia entry[]
Although rare, religious military orders are an interesting intersection of the spiritual and the earthly. The best have been elite soldiers, and have gone on to occupy a place in the cultural imagination well beyond their historical impact. In the west, there were Crusader orders like the Knights Templar, Knights Hospitalier, and Teutonic Order. Japan produced the sohei, an order of military Buddhist monks.
In the West, the leader of a religious military order is usually called the Grand Master, and he combined the spiritual and military leadership in his person and role. A Grand Master was expected to serve as a paragon for the ideals of his followers, but was also given certain privileges and prerogatives. This may have included the privilege of a private place of worship and prayer, to which he may retire for contemplation, and to gain the strength needed to bring victory to the forces of heaven on earth.
