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 throughout the world.
Who We Are
The Daughters of the King is an Order for women who are communicants of
the Episcopal Church, or churches in communion with it, or churches who
are in the Historic Episcopate. Members undertake a Rule of Life,
incorporating the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service. By reaffirmation
of the promises made at 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.
Mission of the Order
"The object of this Order shall be the extension of Christ's
Kingdom through Prayer, Service, and Evangelism."
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?
About The Cross
The emblem of the Order is in the form of a modified Greek
fleury cross inscribed in Latin, Magnanimiter Crucem Sustine, the
watchword of the Order, meaning "With heart, mind and spirit uphold
and bear the cross." At the base of the cross are the letters
"FHS," initials that stand for the Motto of the Order:
"For His Sake..."
The emblem, never wavering from the original design, has been trademarked
for the exclusive use of the Order. The cross is worn at all times.
It is customarily worn on the left side over the heart or it may be worn
on a silver chain around the neck, but it is never to be worn simply as an
ornament. Only a member in good standing may wear the cross of the
Order, which remains the property of the Order. When a Daughter
dies, her cross may be buried with her or incorporated into her memorial;
otherwise, it must be returned to the National Office
from The Daughters of the King
