Institute of consecrated life in the context of "Consecrated life"

Consecrated life (also known as religious life) is a state of life in liturgical branches of Christianity (particularly Catholicism, Evangelical Lutheranism, and Anglicanism) lived by those faithful who are called to follow Jesus Christ in a more exacting way. Consecrated life includes those in religious orders, those residing in monasteries or convents, as well as those living as hermits or consecrated virgins; in the Catholic Church, consecrated life may include those in institutes of consecrated life (religious and secular), societies of apostolic life.
