Who are the Daughters of the King?
The Petra Chapter of the Daughters of the King of St. Peter’s Anglican Church was chartered in February 2006. The order’s purpose is to bring others into a living and loving relationship with Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and to help strengthen the spiritual life of our parishes and missions.
To become a Daughter, she must be a communicant, be willing to participate in a discernment/study program, and vow to accept the Rules of Life, Prayer and Service.
- The Rule of Life is a vow to serve the Lord daily in prayer and service.
- Through the Rule of Prayer, daughters promise to pray daily for the spread of Christ’s kingdom, for God’s blessing on all members of the Order and for the spiritual growth of their parishes.
- Through a Rule of Service, Daughters regularly take part in worship, study and work of the church, undertake a personal program of evangelism in a conscientious effort to bring others into a personal relationship with Christ. Daughters work with their clergy, as directed, for the spiritual up-building of the parish.
A Daughter is also faithful in her personal devotional life through Bible or Christian spiritual studies, participation in quiet days, retreats, prayer groups and diocesan/provincial assemblies. For more information on the national organization, visit www.dok-national.org

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is The Order of the Daughters of the King
The Daughters is a spiritual, praying order for women in the Episcopal Church and churches with the Historic Episcopate.
- What is the Purpose of the Order?
The purpose of The Order is evangelism. We desire, through a disciplined rule of prayer and service, to encourage in others and ourselves a deeper relationship to our Lord Christ. A Daughter continually renews her interior spiritual life as she lives out her baptismal vows to follow Jesus as her Savior and Lord, to work, to pray, to witness, and to give for the spread of His kingdom.
- What do Daughters do?
Daughters are not called to do but to be. Daughters are not required to participate in any project undertaken by the chapter. However, most Daughters do wish to give some tangible service, according to their talents, toward the spread of Christ’s kingdom.
- Am I good enough to be a Daughter of the King?
Daughters are not members of a spiritual elite, but rather women who feel a need to conform their lives more closely to god’s will. The Order will help you strengthen your present religious life as you accept and follow the disciplines of a rule of life.
- How will being in The Order help to deepen my life as a woman?
The Order can help by pointing the way to a stable grounding in Christ our King. Through prayer, study and service, with like-minded women, Daughters find their minds and hearts turning from self to God.
- Must I become a Daughter of the King?
Of course not. Thousands of saints never heard of Daughters, but those of us who are Daughters find it a source of strength and solace in the modern world.
- How does The Order differ from other church organizations?
Many church organizations have their emphasis on service and socializing. But Daughters share a common rule of life and they become aware of growing toward Christ together with their sisters in Christ. The sign of our discipline is the emblem of the Order (our cross) that we wear daily as a visible witness of a life committed to showing forth the live of Christ to all people.
