Home›Catholic Religious Orders and Congregations›Ordination Practice›Vowed Religious Profession (not ordained)Browse ByVowed Religious Profession (not ordained)This page groups religious orders by how they recognize a member as a minister. Wikipedia notes that Jehovah's Witnesses "consider an adherent's qualified baptism to constitute his ordination as a minister," a very different practice from a seminary ordination. Browsing this way lets a visitor compare how differently orders mark someone as formally set apart for ministry.FactsVowed Religious Profession (not ordained)SourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges
