| Biography | The Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament (CBS) (full name the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ) is a devotional society in the Anglican Communion dedicated to venerating the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It is the oldest Anglican devotional society and was founded in 1862 by Thomas Thellusson Carter during the Catholic Revival in the Church of England and has worked to promote the Mass as the weekly main service, regular confession and the Eucharistic fast. The society's motto is Adoremus in aeternum sanctissimum sacramentum, or in English, "Let us forever adore the Most Blessed Sacrament". The confraternity as now constituted represents the amalgamation of two earlier societies, namely, the Society of the Blessed Sacrament, founded in 1860, and the Confraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, founded in 1862. The two societies united on 26 February 1867.
