NUN - A member of a religious order or congregation of women living under the
vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. In RC Canon Law only those living
under 'solemn vows' are accounted Nuns (moniales) in the technical sense,
those living under 'simple vows' properly being called sisters (sorores). The
Carthusians require complete bodily integrity, but other orders receive widows
and penitents by dispensation (The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church).
The English word "nun" is derived from the old English "nonna", which was the
feminine form of "nonnus", a monk.
The word was originally a term of respect applied to elderly persons, and
therefore means something like "nother" or "father", and is thus similar to
the Russian "starets" or the Greek "geron" (or "gerondissa").

Do they sleep in dorms, I thought they had “cells”? Interesting issue
though. As believers we all must recognise our temptations and choose
not to put them in our path. When we do so we are wilfully sinning,
and I am fairly sure we are all guilty of having done that at times. I
know I have which I am attempting to deal with. I was listening to a
good anecdote from a Christian speaker called Adrian Plass here in the
UK (no, not about homosexual nuns!). He told the story of a Christian
couple he knows. The husband is a very laid back guy and the wife
commutes to work. One day a good looking man gets on the train and the
wife notices him and thinks “Oh, he’s rather nice”. It turns out that
they both become regulars on the same train and she often sees him.
Then one day he sits beside her and they get chatting. This then
becomes a regular thing and she looks forward to their chats. Soon she
starts to feel very guilty because she finds herself falling for this
man. She is conflicted because she loves her husband. As her husband
is also her best friend she decides she can trust him to tell how she
feels about this other man and seek his advise. Amazingly he does not
hit the roof when she tells him and asks what she should do. He gets
up, walks over to her calmly and puts his arms around her. Then he
just says two words “change trains”. As you imply somebody struggling
with inappropriate feelings towards other women would not be best
placed there for the same reason I should never work in a cake
factory! :-)

people living in communities with very little contact with anyone outside
their community can get involved in quarrels over the most petty things. As
one monk once said to me, more people go to hell from monasteries than from
anywhere else. So without a real desire to love and worship God, it is very
difficult to make a go of it.
There are also interesting and sometimes surprising things. An Anglican
nunnery that started in Zululand witrh 3 sisters in 1968 had 490 sisters in 4
houses ten years later. That was surprising because in Zulu culture the father
expects to get a dowry for daughters -- sons are much less valuable. So Zulu
girls who are attracted to a celibate life of service to God get a lot of flak
from their families. Nevertheless, it grew rapidly.
