== Monasticism ==
The monastic men and women in Orthodoxy are usually restricted to monasteries and do not normally participate in the active ministry of the Church. Orthodox monastic life is contemplative -- there are no monastic "orders" devoted to teaching, social work, etc., such as one would find in Roman Catholicism.
