Community of the Sisters of the Church

The Community of the Sisters of the Church is a religious order of women in various Anglican provinces who live the vowed life of poverty, chastity and obedience.

[1] Mother Emily and other women who felt called to the religious life established schools and orphanages throughout England in the late 19th century.

[2] Sister Dorina CSC was a prominent religious artist of the 1920s and 1930s who is particularly remembered for a set of Stations of the Cross which has been replicated many times over; examples of this work may be found in many Anglican churches, especially in London.

[3] Sister Eudora CSC (Bessie te Wenerau Grace) was the first Māori woman to gain a university degree.

Their most visible presence in recent years was when two sisters, one in Reeboks, sat in the sanctuary of Westminster Abbey during the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on 29 April 2012.
