The Order of the Daughter's of the King

The Daughters of the King is an Order for women in the Episcopal Church with Chapters in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and in the Evangelical Lutheran Churches in America. Daughters are dedicated to prayer and service For Christ's Sake.

"The object of this Order shall be the extension of Christ's Kingdom through Prayer, Service, and Evangelism."

                                   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
