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. Daughters pledge 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 their parishes.

In solidarity with one another, all Daughters everywhere make the same promises upon their admission to the Order:

• To obey the two Rules of The Order: the Rule of Prayer and the Rule of Service.
• To offer at all times loyal aid to our clergy and parish to spread Christ’s kingdom.
• To wear faithfully the cross of The Order.
• To work for the purposes of The Order as God may give us the opportunity.

The Mission of the Order

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