At first sight it is a rather grim picture. Most religious orders in the West are declining numerically and ageing. This makes them less attractive to young people. Since most of the active orders no longer wear the habit, they have become almost invisible to wider society. Community life has also changed.

The vows, especially that of obedience, have been given new interpretations.
