Religious profession

For profession of faith (public avowal of faith according to a traditional formula), see Creed.

A religious profession is the solemn admission of men or women into consecrated life by means of the pronouncement of religious vows, typically the evangelical counsels. It is practiced in some Christian denominations, particularly Catholicism, Evangelical Lutheranism and Anglicanism, among other Christian traditions.
