Who Are We                                                             

                                                              

     The Daughters of the King is an order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, Churches in communion with it, or Churches in the historic episcopate but not in the Anglican, Episcopal, Lutheran (ELCA) and Roman Catholic  churches.  The Order was founded in 1885 by Margaret J. Franklin at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in New York City (now the Church of the Resurrection).  Our Anglican tradition includes Episcopal oversight, Holy Scripture containing all things necessary for salvation, recognition of the gift of the Holy Spirit in Baptism, the real presence of our Lord in the Holy Euchrist andworship according to The Book of Common Prayer.

     Members undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.  By reaffirmation of the promises made at Baptism and Confirmation, a Daughter pledges herself to a life-long program of prayer, service, and evangelism,dedicated to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spirtual life of her parish.

 

                                                                   The Mission of the Order

           The mission of the Order is the extension of Christ's Kingdom through Prayer, Service and Evangelism. 

 

                                                                   Vision Statement

     Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God's love dthroughout the world.

 

                                                                    The Motto Of The Order

    For His Sake ...

          I am but one, but I am one.

         I cannot do everything, but I can do something

       What I can do, I ought to do

        What I ought to do, by the grace of God I will do.

       Lord, what will you have me do ?
