The Order of the Daughters of the King® is ‘an order for women who are communicants either of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the historic episcopate but not in communion with it.’ (from “The National Handbook and Bylaws, DOK”). Founded in 1885 in New York City at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (now known as the Church of the Resurrection), this organization has established a Rule of Life that includes guidelines for both prayer and service. Membership is lifelong, or until a member chooses to resign.

 Visit the Diocese of Texas Daughters of the King website for more information about the Order.
