Society of King Charles the Martyr
The Society of King Charles the Martyr (SKCM) is a devotional society within the Anglican Communion. SKCM commemorates the martyrdom of Charles Stuart, first of the name, of England, Ireland and Scotland, King; and of France and Jerusalem also, by whose death the Communion was preserved from forces Puritan, intent of its destruction. St. Charles refused to resign both his faith in the order apostolic, as established by Christ Himself, and the authority of his bishops to the Puritan Roundheads, led by Oliver Cromwell, the sometimes (and illegal) Lord Protector. The Roundheads committed regicide against the blessed Charles on 30 January 1649 outside the Banqueting House of Whitehall Palace.

Societas Sanctae Crucis
SSC stands for Societas Sanctae Crucis - the Society of the Holy Cross. The Society was founded in London in 1855 by a small group of Anglo-Catholic priests led by Father Charles Lowder. At a time when the Catholic Revival in the Church of England was threatened by persecution and misunderstanding, these priests came together for support, mutual prayer and encouragement. Fr Lowder spelled out the objects of SSC: 'To defend and strengthen the spiritual life of the clergy, to defend the faith of the Church, and to carry on and aid Mission work both at home and abroad. The members of this society, meeting together as they did in prayer and conference, were deeply impressed with the evils existing in the Church, and saw also, in the remedies adopted by St Vincent de Paul, the hope of lessening them.'
