Clergy Renewal Program
Clergy Week 2018
When the pews are vacant and the gleaming reflections of stained glass windows fade, pastors are no different than the people they preach to. They need prayer, too.
To provide a pause in their nonstop lifestyle, the International Order of The King’s Daughters and Sons sponsors clergy members from across North America to spend Week Six in Chautauqua as part of its Clergy Renewal Week.

Learn & Discern Internships
A Message from our Internship Committee
Our summer internship can impact the course of a college student’s life. Experiencing work in the non-profit world and experiencing the role of faith in creating positive change is an incredible way to discern your future.
Because an internship with us also focuses on living and working among a diverse set of people and perspectives at New York’s Chautauqua Institution, it provides more than a college requirement. It prepares young adults to help heal the world.
Historian's Corner
Gems from the Memorial Museum
As noted last month, many of our members are unable to visit the Memorial Museum located in IOKDS Headquarters at Chautauqua, NY, so we are bringing it to you! This month’s highlighted artifact brought to you by our Historian, Sue Buck, is “Beauty Spot Holder.”
