St. Paul's Welcomes Daughters Of The King

On Sunday, January 30, the St. Paul’s chapter of the Daughters of the King welcomed two new members. Brenda Syle, president of the local chapter, initiated Rita Leigh and Maggie McGee Sock into the worldwide organization and presented each with the distinctive member’s cross. The Daughters of the King, which is dedicated to prayer and service, is an Order for women in the Episcopal Church, with chapters in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and in the Evangelical Lutheran Churches in America.

The Daughters of the King was founded in 1885 in New York City. By 1892 fifty chapters had been formed in the US. In 1895 the Canadian branch was formed, and in 1898 the order was established in England and around the worldwide Anglican Communion. In 1899 the order sponsored its first mission, Miss Charley Warnock of Atlanta, as a missionary in Wuchang, China. Currently, the Order has 1,770 chapters around the world, with a membership of 27,611.

Each member of the Order pledges herself to a lifelong program of prayer, service, and evangelism. The local chapter assists in strengthening the spiritual life of her parish by regular participation in worship, study, and works of charity.

The local chapter of the Daughters has as its patron the great Irish saint, Bridget of Kildare. A convert to Christianity, Bridget with a group of other women established a religious community in Kildare in the 5th Century C.E. This community of women was later joined by one for monks, creating a significant center of religious life in Ireland. Along with St. Patrick, Bridget had considerable influence on the growth and development of Christianity in Ireland.

Members of the St. Paul’s Chapter are: Margie Baker, Vickie Calby, Jane Chandler, Rita Leigh, Judith Ochse, Penny Pennoyer, Maggie McGee Sock, Brenda Syle, Mary Jane Syle, Sarah Warriner, and Esther Welden.
