= = =3. Resources= = = =4. Summary= Friar gives up all personal property and lives in poverty Both Monks and Friars take vows of poverty. The salient difference is that Monks lived cloistered in a monastary, away from normal secular life. Friars, on the other hand, lived amongst the people and belonged to a general order rather than a specific monastary. The monks vow of poverty binds him strictly as an individual but in no way affects the right of tenure of his order. In the life of the friar, the exercise of the sacred ministry is an essential feature, for which the life of the cloister is considered as but an immediate preparation. His vow of poverty, too, not only binds him as an individual to the exercise of that virtue, but, originally at least, precluded also the right of tenure in common with his brethren. Thus originally the various orders of friars could possess no fixed revenues and lived upon the voluntary offerings of the faithful. =5. References= Cleary, G. (1909). Friar.

 * i think that monks and friars disagreed on how christianity should be shared with the world because the friars went out to the people to share the Word of God while the monks stayed in the church and waited for the people of the city or the town to come to them
 * i think that monks and friars did have just slightly different christain beliefs because monks were not as open with sharing Gods Word as the friars were
 * i think that monks and friars got their names (monk and/or friar) from different words in ancient languages that meant "holy" things back in the middle ages
