The Corporation of the Sons and Friends of the Clergy is a charity resulting from an amalgamation in 2013. The two parent organisations date from 1655 and 1820, respectively. It exists to provide financial support to clergy of the Anglican Communion who are diocesan clergy in a diocese of the British Isles (including the United Kingdom and Ireland, and the Crown dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or missionary clergy serving overseas with a society based in one of those countries. It also provides assistance to clergy widows, children, and orphans, and to members of Anglican religious orders within the British Isles. ==Foundation== The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy was established in 1655 in response to the distress of the large number of clergymen who were dispossessed of their livings under the regime of Oliver Cromwell. Those who were loyal to the crown and adhered to the traditional form of service were displaced. One of the main instigators of the charity was Edward Wake, who was uncle of William Wake Archbishop of Canterbury. The founders were merchants of the City of London and priests of the Church of England, all of whom were themselves sons of clergymen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Clergy Charities United Website )〕 The first fund-raising events were on 8 November 1655, when a Festival Service was held in Old St Paul's Cathedral, followed by a dinner in the Merchant Taylors' Hall. Collections were taken at each and these events have continued ever since. The charity also had generous support from important and influential people.
