Lay people, or laity, refer to individuals who are not members of the clergy or religious orders within a religious context. They typically participate in the faith and community life but do not hold formal positions of authority or leadership within the religious institution. In many traditions, lay people contribute to the community through service, worship, and support, playing a vital role in the overall functioning of their religious communities. Their involvement can vary widely, from active participation in rituals and events to advocacy and outreach efforts.
