What is the Brotherhood?

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an international ministry of men within the Anglican Communion with corporate offices in Ainbridge, Pennsylvania, W.S.A. The Brotherhood was incorporated by an Act of the U.S. Congress signed May 30, 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt. That Act states, “the sole object of said corporation shall be the spread of Christ’s Kingdom among men and youth.”

 What is a Chapter?

The primary method by which the Brotherhood implements its ministry to men and youth through the establishing of a Chapter within individual Anglican and Episcopal churches. Office and with the approval of the parish Rector, Vicar or in the case of a prison or Armed Forces installation, the Bishop of the diocese, a charter may be issued to the applicants. The Chapter needs to have at least six (6) men to begin an effective ministry, although in small parishes as few as three men can be granted a charter with the approval by the Brotherhood’s President. Chapter members are called Brothers Andrew and are required to accept and observe the Brotherhood Disciplines of: PRAYER, STUDY AND SERVICE. 

Who may be a member of the Brotherhood?

Any baptized Christian man may be a member of The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Inc. However, only men who are confirmed in an Anglican or Episcopal Church or a church in communion with the Anglican or Episcopal Church may become a Chapter, regional or national officer in the Brotherhood.

 May women join the Brotherhood?

A very fine sister organization exists that limits membership women. The organization is the Daughters of the King. The Daughters of the King is a ministry to women that was formed shortly after the brotherhood began. Both ministries are similar and focus on the disciplines of Prayer, Study and Service. Their ministry to women and youth, and disciplines parallel those of the Brotherhood.
