The organization takes the fact that Scripture clearly speaks, in a number of places, in terms of military service. Taking this metaphor, they have used the Medieval Knight as the symbol of the Soldier of Christ; and strive to re-establish the Biblical basis of the Code of Chivalry.
The term Silver Chalice is a reference to the Holy Grail and comes from the comment of Jesus at the Last Supper, "This Cup is the New Covenant." It is their belief that, according to ancient Pesach (Passover) custom, the cup in question would have been made of silver.
They do not consider themselves nobility, claiming that such status was a latter addition to knighthood. Their teachings state that the word "knight" comes from an Old English term (cniht) which means "male servant." While their primary stated purpose is mutual support, they strongly emphasize that members must do whatever they can to serve those around them, expecting no reward.
The group is made up of "triads," groups of three men who support each other. Each triad is then connected to other triads, all independent but interlocked to create a larger support system.
The group's motto is First Peter 2:17, "Respect all men: Love the brotherhood, Fear God, Honor the king."
Symbols often associated with the group are a silver chalice engraved with a Chi-Rho, and a sword suspended over a book bearing the Greek letters Alpha and Omega and the Hebrew letters Aleph and Tau.
