The Society For Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) is a British missionary society founded in London in 1698, in connection with the Church of England, having for its main objects the establishment of churches, schools, and libraries, and the publication and circulation of religious and moral literature. It is still in active operation, publishes a great number of religious and instructive works, and during the 19th century established a training college for schoolmistresses. In 1811 the National Society branched off from it, and did much to further education in England in connection with the Established Church. Research Society For Promoting Christian Knowledge
