Where a nun lived?
Nuns live in monasteries. Sisters live in convents. Nuns usually spend their entire lives in the monastery where they work and pray. Sisters live in a convent but perform most of their work outside the convent - schools, hospitals, etc.Convent when they ARE nuns, abbey when they are STUDYING to be nuns.Roman Catholic AnswerActually, nuns, strictly speaking are monastic women in solemn vows. They live in a monastery. A convent can refer to any building or buildings where religious women live; or in past times, friars. Now it would mostly refer to communities of sisters as opposed to nuns. Abbey refers to a canonically erected monastery with a minimum number of religious. AnswerNuns originally lived in convents or monasteries and many continue to do so today. Others have become more secular in recent years and may live in shared homes or apartments.
Where do nuns live?
Many nuns do live in monasteries and convents, but some live out in the community where they work, too.For example, if a nun was a leader in a university campus Catholic Student Center, she would probably live in a house somewhere near her work.A nun lives in a convent or a nunnery.Many nuns live in convents (or nunneries), but some now live out the community.Roman Catholic AnswerNuns live in a monastery which can also be referred to as a cloister or an enclosure. The building itself is usually referred to as the monastery. The whole complex might be referred to as a monastery, or an abbey. Sisters are a separate case. This is all kind of confusing as nuns are called Sister, in many countries, but sisters are actually a different vocation from nuns. The residence for sisters is usually called a convent.
Why is there now a brotherhood of monks or a sisterhood within convents?
Because the monks were all men and the nuns were all women. They called themselves "sisters in Christ" or "brothers in Christ", so therefore, the brotherhood and the sisterhood.

Why did Henry need the monasteries wealth?
Henry didn't go looking for it. When the Pope wouldn;t grant him a divorce, Henry formed the Church of England with himself as its head. He then realised that he now ;owned' the various church estates. He ousted the nuns and monks and gave many of these estates to persons (middle and upper class) who had supported him re the divorce situation. There is a lot more to this but this is the short answer.
Who were the important people involed in the dissolution of the monasteries?
The monasteries were dissolved for a number of reasons: * Henry VIII was basically bankrupt following wars with France and needed to raise capital. Dissolution of the monasteries, seizure of their land would bring in capital. * Smaller (less profitable) monasteries were dissolved first. The process masqueraded as a purifying mission to rid the new Anglican church of the sorts of excesses which had been recently criticised by Luther Et Al throughout Europe. * Following the break with Rome, all of this was a lot easier as Henry did not have anyone to answer to regarding clerical issues. (It should be noted that dissolution of monasteries was not necessarily religiously motivated) * Monasteries were a central part of the local communities. By eradicating these, Henry was essentially centralizing English society; a form of capitalism often debated as 'Absolute' rule. (i.e. dictatorship)
Why did people want to become nuns and priest in the middle ages?
Monks and Nuns were important in the middle ages because they taught the priests and helped others in need of spiritual salvation at the church.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Middle Ages were a time of great faith. People's lives revolved around the Church and they realized that an eternity in heaven was something that should rule these few short years on earth. The monks and nuns kept alive learning, and history; and reproduced many books that we would have lost otherwise. They contributed to advances in science, farming methods, and kept alive many skills that would otherwise have been lost. There were few towns, and no cities in the Middle Ages, and the monasteries served as centers for a host of things. Mendicants came along towards the end, the High Middle Ages, and did a lot towards spreading faith and love of God.
What are the differences between nuns and monks in the medieval times and the ones now?
In England, modern monks and nuns follow a much less intense daily routine and very few celebrate the night Office as it was in the medieval period. Historically, monks and nuns got up from their beds at around midnight or 2 am for Matins and Lauds before returning to bed and rising again for Prime at around 6 am. Today monks and nuns enjoy much more sleep and are generally not expected to rise until early morning.Another change is that modern English Offices (church services) are in English, where historically services were entirely in Latin.Modern monks and nuns have access to the Internet and many monastic communities produce and sell a variety of commodities, from honey to ale and mead; the Internet is used to promote this commercial aspect of their work.Silent contemplation, prayer and periods of manual work still apply in most monasteries.In my own experience of meeting Benedictine monks in Holland and the USA, there is today almost no concept of humility and adhering to the precepts of the Rule of St Benedict; a medieval monk would be shocked and outraged at the aggressive, opinionated and selfish attitudes displayed by some of their modern brethren.
What caused economic and social change is seventh-century in western Europe?
I'm not sure but I think: the economy changed in west Europe because: - agricultural land was passing out and the late roman system of land taxes were also collapsing. the coinage system broke down and changed from gold to silver. the was also a rapid increase of monasteries. in 597 40 monks were send to England by pope Gregory & by end 7th century whole England laid in the roman boundries. the bouwindustrie monks went to frisia and Saxony, so did the Frankish monks. pope Gregory had made an alliance with Benedictines monasteries. and therefore frisia and Germany were both in the catholic church now. this was the groundwork for the alliance between the papacy and the Frankish. in short: the catholic church and its monasteries.
