A religious brother is a member of a Roman Catholic religious order who commits himself to following Christ in consecrated life of the church by the vows of poverty, celibacy, and obedience. A layman (not ordained), he usually lives in a religious community and works in a ministry that suits his talents and gifts. A brother might be a teacher, electrician, cook, lawyer, technician, parish minister, or artist. He tries to live his faith by being a “brother” to others. Since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) many brothers have moved from more traditional to a wide variety of other ministries, especially in the areas of peace and justice. Brothers in communities with priests have become better educated and have moved toward equal standing with ordained members.
