time to time and attempts at restoration. Amongst such protests, which generally dwelt a See also:good See also:deal on the want of See also:provision for unmarried See also:women, may be mentioned three in successive centuries. The historian See also:Fuller would have been glad " if such feminine See also:foundations had still continued," those " good See also:shee-See also:schools," only without vows (Bk. vi.). See also:Richardson the novelist, in See also:Sir See also:Charles Grandison, wishes there could be a See also:Protestant nunnery in every See also:county, " with a truly worthy divine, at the See also:appointment of the See also:bishop of the See also:diocese, to See also:direct and animate the devotion of such a society "; in 1829 the poet See also:Southey, in his Colloquies (cxiii.), See also:trusts that " See also:thirty years hence.this reproach also may be effaced, and England may have its See also:Beguines and its sisters of See also:mercy.

Southey's See also:appeal had See also:weight, and before the thirty years had passed compassion for the needs of the destitute in See also:great cities, and the impulse of a strong Church revival, aroused a See also:body of laymen, among whom were included Mr See also:Gladstone, Sir T. D. See also:Acland, Mr A. J. See also:Beresford-See also:Hope, See also:Lord Lytteltonand Lord See also:John See also:Manners (chairman), to exertions which restored sisterhoods to the Church of England. On 26th See also:March 1845 the See also:Park See also:Village Community was set on See also:foot in See also:Regent's Park, See also:London, to See also:minister to the poor See also:population of St Pancras. The " See also:Rule " was compiled by Dr See also:Pusey, who also gave spiritual supervision. In the See also:Crimean See also:War the See also:superior and other sisters went out as nurses with See also:Florence See also:Nightingale. The community afterwards See also:united with the See also:Devonport Sisters, founded by See also:Miss Sellon in 1849, and together they See also:form what is known as See also:Ascot Priory.

Oxford commenced in 1847; and'the See also:present See also:mother-superior of the See also:Holy Trinity Convent at Oxford, Marian See also:Hughes, dedicated herself before witnesses to such a See also:life as See also:early as 1841 (See also:Liddon's Life of Dr Pusey, iii.).
Four sisterhoods stand together as the largest : those of Clewer, See also:Wantage, All See also:Saints and See also:East Grinstead; and the See also:work of the first may stand as a specimen of that of others. The " Community of St John the Baptist " at Clewer, near See also:Windsor, arose in 1849 through the efforts of Mrs See also:Tennant and the See also:vicar, afterwards See also:warden of the society, the Rev. T. T. See also:Carter, to See also:save fallen women. Under the first superior, Harriet Monsell, the See also:numbers See also:grew apace, and are now above 200. Their services to society and the Church include 6 houses for fallen women, 7 orphanages, 9 elementary and high schools and colleges, 5 hospitals, See also:mission work in 13 parishes and visiting in several " married quarters " of See also:barracks. Many of these are important institutions, and their labours extend over a wide See also:area; two of the settlements are in See also:India and two in the United States. A See also:list of 26 sisterhoods is given in the See also:Official See also:Year-See also:Book of the C.E. (1900), to which may be added 10 institutions of deaconesses, many of whom live in community under rule. The Episcopal Church of Scvland has 3 sisterhoods; and they are found also at See also:Toronto, " See also:Saint John the Divine "; See also:Brisbane, " Sacred See also:Advent "; Grahamstown, " Resurrection "; See also:Bloemfontein, " St See also:Michael and All Angels Maritzburg, "Saint John the Divine." The Year-Book (1911) of the Protestant Episcopal Church of See also:America (Anglican) mentions 18 See also:American See also:sister-hoods and 7 See also:deaconess homes and training colleges.
Practically all 'Anglican sisterhoods originated in See also:works of mercy, and this fact largely accounts for the rapidity with which they have won their way to the good will and confidence of the Church. Their number is believed to exceed 3000, and the demand for their services is greater than the See also:supply. Bishops are often their visitors, and Church Congresses, See also:Convocation and See also:Lambeth Conferences have given them encouragement and regulation. This See also:change in sympathy, again, has gained a See also:hearing from modern historians, who tend more and more to discredit the wholesale See also:defamation of the dissolution See also:period. This charitable activity, however, distinguishes the modern sister from the nuns of See also:primitive and See also:medieval times, who were cloistered and contemplative, and left See also:external works to deaconesses, or to laywomen of a " third See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order," or to the freer See also:societies like the Beguines. St See also:Vincent de Paul is considered to have begun the new era .with his institution of " Sisters of Charity " in 1634. Another modern feature is the fuller recognition of See also:family ties: Rule 29 of the Clewer sisters directs that " the sisters shall have See also:free intercourse with relations, who may visit them at any time." But in most essential respects modern sisterhoods follow the See also:ancient traditions. They devote themselves to the celibate life, have See also:property in See also:common, and observe a common rule of See also:prayer, fellowship and work. See also:Government is by a sister superior, assisted by various See also:officers. The warden and See also:chaplain are See also:clergy, and the visitor is commonly a bishop. In one important regard there has been hesitation, and authorities like Dr Littledale and Bishop See also:Grafton contend strongly for the primitive ideal of the convent as family, with a constitutional government, as against the later and wide-spread Jesuit ideal of the convent as See also:regiment, with a theory of despotic rule and See also:absolute obedience. If some early mistakes in the restoration of sisterhoods were due to this exaggerated See also:doctrine of obedience, the doctrine itself may be trusted to disappear among a Church and See also:people accustomed to free institutions and to respect for individuality.
