What is the Order of the Daughters of the King?

The Daughters of the King is an order for women who are communicants of the churches in the Anglican Communion or in the historic Episcopate. It was founded in 1885 and adheres to the Anglican tradition of faith and worship. There are thousands of chapters and over 18,000 Daughters world-wide.

Daughters of the King is a religious order, whose Daughters take lifetime vows to live by the Rule of the Order, Rules of Prayer and Service. Because of the vows taken, we refer to ourselves as an order rather than an organization. Interested women must attend a series of classes and have a discernment period testing their commitment to the Rules before taking the vows.
