The Code of Chivalry
of the
Sovereign Military Order of Christ the King
The Sovereign Military Order of Christ the King stands as a living expression of faith, honor, and service. Rooted in the Orthodox Christian tradition and inspired by the ascetical and hesychastic ethos of the Church, our Order calls forth men and women who seek to embody the highest ideals of knighthood in the modern world.
The Code of Chivalry serves as the moral and spiritual compass for all members of the Order. It is more than a set of rules; it is a way of life—guiding our thoughts, words, and actions both in private devotion and public witness. Through this Code, Knights are called to uphold faith, courage, loyalty, humility, and integrity, fostering a life of virtue, discipline, and selfless service to God, Church, and neighbor.
In every act, whether in the quiet of prayer or the demands of worldly engagement, a Knight of Christ the King strives to reflect grace, honor, and righteousness. This Code is a timeless standard, linking the noble traditions of historic chivalry with the contemporary call to holiness and responsibility.
As you explore the principles and precepts of our Code, we invite you to witness the sacred bond between devotion and duty, and to understand the enduring spirit that animates the Knights of the Sovereign Military Order of Christ the King.
