The Community of St. John the Divine (CSJD) is an Anglican religious order of nuns within the Church of England.
Originally a nursing order, the CSJD continues to be involved in areas of health and pastoral care, and operates retreat facilities.
Author Jennifer Worth wrote about her work with the order in the 1950s in her Call The Midwife trilogy.
[1] The order was named "Sisters of St. Raymond Nonnatus" in the book, as well as the subsequent Call The Midwife television series on the BBC.
In 1848, physician Robert Bentley Todd founded St. John's House to improve nursing in London's hospitals.
