Overall, a very clear and helpful article. One question, though; the article states that "Religious communities are divided into orders proper, in which members take solemn vows and congregations, whose members take simple vows." Where is this distinction made? The Episcopal Church in the USA makes a rather different distinction, as the article suggests; I'm not aware that canon law in the British Isles makes any such definition either. It's in the US and UK that most of these orders have their origin. Is the simple/solemn vows idea, which is certainly in Roman Catholic canon law, also part of current Anglican tradition? 86.135.163.182 14:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
The Episcopal Carmel of Saint Teresa has been repeatedly added and taken out because it is not a canonically recognized religious order. Recognition has a number of requirements in the Episcopal Church, including at least 6 life professed members. I have created a separate section for orders that are not recognized, although it still needs significant development since there are very many orders in this category. Lack of recognition does not imply any judgment upon those communities, but the orders listed in the main listing are those that meet the criteria for entry in the Anglican Relgious Communities Yearbook and regional organizations such as CAROA (The Council of Anglican Religious Orders in the Americas).

Clarification: CAROA is not an official organization of the Episcopal Church. Membership is voluntary. Episcopal Carmel of Saint Teresa was founded at the request of members of the House of Bishops Standing Committee overseeing the Religious Life in the Episcopal Church. ECST's Bishop Visitor attends meetings of Episcopal Visitors and the Prioress has been required to files Annual Reports to the Standing Committee. All the requirements of Canon 30 have been complied with with the exception of having 6 professed (the Canon doesn't require life profession)members. In a sense the community was unofficially "recognized" before it was founded. At this time there are 4 Professed members with another Profession anticipated this spring. There are two Aspirants, one Postulant and one Novice. (Sister Teresa Irene OCD, Prioress) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.78.78 ( talk) 20:20, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
I am unconvinced as to the reason for Febronia's continued deletion of ECST and then the artificial creation of an unexplained sub section. Prehaps somthing more helpfull and less potentialy biased solution may be reached?

Considering the information fgiven by the Prioress of the ECST, and the lack of responce by Febronia on the topic, I can only assume that we may safely reorganize the page, removing the specious divisions currently there. — Preceding

We have eight pictures in the gallery as I write this, and they are all of female orders. It would be nice to have a couple pictures from male orders, if anyone has any. QVanillaQ ( talk) 10:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I propose that Sisterhoods (Modern Anglican) be merged into Anglican religious order. Certainly qualifies under 'overlap' and probably 'duplicate' (see WP:Merge). Timothy Titus Talk To TT 09:43, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
Why is the title in the singular (Anglican religious order) when it discusses a number of Anglican religious orders? Shouldn't the article be WP:moved to Anglican religious orders ie plural? Wayne Jayes ( talk) 13:48, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Not moved per WP:NCPLURAL – see above. (closed by a page mover) Wikipedian Sign Language Paine 21:13, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Anglican religious order → Anglican religious orders – The present title is in the singular; the article, however, discusses multiple Anglican religious orders, so the artilce should be retitled in the plural Wayne Jayes ( talk) 07:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC) Relisted.

A discussion is taking place at Talk:Nun#Rename article "Nun and religious sister" ? whether to rename this article "Nun and religious sister", since religious sisters have no article of their own and may not want to be called nuns. Religious sisters are already a major topic in the article. Jzsj ( talk) 18:17, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
I can see no good reason for the failure to follow normal English usage. There is a Wikipedia article entitled Former religious orders in the Anglican Communion. It would be good to have some consistency? ShropshirePilgrim ( talk) 17:44, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
