Our Mission

Founded by Emily Ayckbowm in 1870,
the Community of the Sisters of the Church
is an international body of women within the Anglican Communion,
living under the gospel values of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience,
desiring to be faithful to the traditions of the Religious Life
while exploring new ways of expressing them
and of living community life and ministry today.

By our worship, ministry and life in community,
we desire to be channels of the reconciling love and acceptance of Christ,
to acknowledge the dignity of every person,
and to enable others to encounter the living God whom we seek.
