novice

 

  • After initial contact with the community, and usually a period of time as a postulant (a period of candidacy in which the aspirant lives with the community), the person will
    be received as a novice in a ceremony that most often involves being clothed with the religious habit (traditional garb) of the particular religious community.

  • Newbie is mostly used as a descriptor or qualifier, a name given to novices by more experienced users or community members to indicate someone who just entered the community
    and is eager to learn and participate.

  • Another way of selection is through screening, in which the community selects certain members who they believe will be a good fit.

  • A novice is a person who has entered a religious order and is under probation, before taking vows.

  • One way that online communities work on retention is through the use of entry barriers and initiation rituals because making it difficult to join should increase their commitment.

  • One way that selection works in online communities is through the process of self-selection, in which the potential members decide themselves to join a community based on
    the information about the community available to them.

  • Since newcomers still have not established themselves with the group or still may be unfamiliar with the norms of the community, the rest of the community has to beware of
    the potential damage that they can cause.

  • [7] Retention in online communities is about making sure that the newcomers stick around and stay long enough to become more committed members, who take on more important
    responsibilities and begin to be identify themselves with the group.

  • A novice is free to leave the monastery at any time, and the superior is free to dismiss the novice at any time if, for instance, they feel that the novice is not called to
    monasticism or if there have been issues of discipline.

  • Online communities With the rise of the internet, a “novice” could be a person who is a newcomer to a particular website, forum, or other social community.

  • A Mandaean novice or šualia in Baghdad, Iraq in 2008 A novice in Catholic canon law and tradition is a prospective member of a religious order who is being tried and assessed
    for suitability of admission to a religious order of priests, religious brothers, or religious sisters, whether the community is one of monks or has an apostolate.

  • There many different methods that online communities use to recruit new members.

  • If, however, the novice perseveres, after a period of around three years, the hegumen may choose to clothe them in the first (beginning) rank of monasticism: the rassaphore.

  • In large communities, the new novice may be assigned a starets (spiritual father or spiritual mother) who will guide his (or her) spiritual development.

  • [6] Selection in online communities is about making sure that the newcomers will be a good fit in the community.

  • One way to deal with the threats is through the use of sandboxes, which allows newcomers to try out the features and learn about the tools without causing damage to the community.

  • Religion Buddhism [edit] Buddhist novices in Wangdue Phodrang Dzong, Bhutan Main article: Buddhist Novitiate In many Buddhist orders, a man or woman who intends to take ordination
    must first become a novice, adopting part of the monastic code indicated in the vinaya and studying in preparation for full ordination.

  • The name for this level of ordination varies from one tradition to another.

  • This usually lasts at least one year, the minimum required by Canon Law, though in some orders and communities it is two.
