A Community is a place where people come
together to share common interests and resources.
The origin of “community” is from the Latin word …
"The word "community" is derived from the Old French communité which is derived from the Latin communitas (cum, "with/together" + munus, "gift"), a broad term for fellowship or organized society." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community)
"Community: The origin of the word "community" comes from the Latin munus, which means the gift, and cum, which means together, among each other. So community literally means to give among each other." (http://www.seek2know.net/word.html)

Religious Life Today • Today there are two types of religious
communities:
– Contemplative – live and work in their monasteries and convents
– Active – live in community, but work “in the world”
May 3, 2023 18
Characteristics: • All members of religious communities take the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience
• All communities have a specific “habit” –
• something in their clothing that identifies them as belonging to that particular community

- Review and evaluate experiences;
- Think and plan together”.
