men and women are Christians. These professionals are thus able to serve the country and support themselves while performing missions work. In the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, the term "working clergy" is used to denote men who, although assigned or not to a parish, must provide for themselves. More often than not, these are married priests who take positions in hospitals or other charitable institutions, although some can be solicitors or school teachers as well. A famous example of a working clergyman was the Orthodox Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Bishop of Simferopol and Crimea, who continued to work as a surgeon and medical doctor even after his ordination. Digital times, blogging Currently more and more laypersons and ministry professionals are spending time online via their blogs and using them to earn an income, both passive and active, through direct advertising sales, affiliate marketing, or promoting other products and services related to their work outside of ministry proper. They have been referred as "Digital Tentmakers" or "TentBloggers" (tentblogging), those that make money through their blogs.
