The Prayer of the Order

  O eternal Father, you have sent us your Son to teach us things pertaining to your heavenly Kingdom.

  Give your blessing to our Order wherever it may be throughout the world.

  Grant that we, your Daughters, ever may discern your truth and bear the cross throught the battles of our earthly life.

  Give us strength to overcome temptation and the grace to work to spread your Kingdom and to gather your scattered sheep within your fold.

  Pour out upon us the sevenfold gift of the Holy Spirit that we may always remember it is your work we are called to do; that all we think, do or say may be pleasing in your sight.  We ask it all For His Sake, our King and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen.

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?

The Colors of the Order

White and Blue

White is for purity and the bright light of truth.

Blue is for the joyful days of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Order VS. Organization

  The Order of the Daughters of the King is organized as a religious order.  Each Daughter takes a lifetime vow to live by the Rule of the Order.  Our Rule of Life requires a spiritual discipline of daily prayer, service and evangelism.  Because of our vow, we refer to ourselves as an order, not an organization.  Our bylaws prohibit us from raising funds. 

The Mission of the Order

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

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 who are in the Historic Episcopate. The Order was founded in 1885 by Margaret J. Franklin at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in New York City.  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 Eucharist and worship 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 spiritual life of her parish.

Vision Statement
  As Daughters of the King, we are women of courage who have made a commitment to serve God our King.  We wear crosses as an outward and visible sign that we cannot live a day without Christ in our lives.  We see our Order as a community of nurturing women, accepting all people , bridging differences and cherishing traditions.

 

  Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision is to encourage and enable all to be reflections of God's love, reaching out through prayer, service and evangelism to spread His Kingdom.
