The members spend large amounts of time in community in traditional habit and the order maintains a residential monastery (Livingstone Monastery in Virginia) where members may live the monastic life, despite their Third Order status. The Community of Francis and Clare (CFC) is a dispersed contemporary vowed religious community of women and men who live a common Rule and Life, prayer and service within the Episcopal Church (United States), its Communion Partners, and the worldwide Anglican Communion. The CFC seeks to follow Jesus in the footsteps of Francis and Clare by living simply and humbly, serving and praying with and for the marginalized members of the communities they live in, and by helping to re-build the Church in their contexts. As a contemporary expression of the Franciscan tradition, members – lay or clergy, partnered or single – live individually, in common, or with their families, and support themselves through secular or church-related employment. The members of the CFC vow poverty, chastity and obedience seeking to place these evangelical counsels into a contemporary expression (simplicity, fidelity, humility). They have diverse ministries in their communities, as the Spirit and the needs of the church lead them. Founded on All Saints Day, November 1, 2018, the community has members in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Lutheranism In the Evangelical Church in Germany, apart from the high church movement, there exists a Protestant Evangelische Kanaan Franziskus-Bruderschaft (Kanaan Franciscan Brothers), affiliated with Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary. In Church of Sweden, there is Helige Franciskus Systraskap (Sisterhood of Saint Francis), a religious community in Klaradal convent in Sjövik. Franciscan Brothers of St. Michael (FBSM), also in North America, within Evangelical Marian Catholic Church, is a Congregation of men, women and children. are now part of the American Orthodox Catholic Church Inc. In the Lutheran church, there has been also more general interest to Franciscan spirituality. E.g. "Assisi-Kredsen" in Denmark and "Franciskus-Sällskapet i Finland" are ecumenical societies, which e.g. arrange journeys to Assisi and in Franciscan convents. Members are mostly Lutherans. Lutheran third orders The Order of Lutheran Franciscans, founded in 2011, is a dispersed, "undifferentiated" Order in the tradition of the other Franciscan orders. Life-professed women and men, lay or ordained, make Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. In Europe, there are nine Franciscan third orders, two of which are commonly referenced.
