Orphan date February 2009 Inline citations date October 2011 In the 1st century A.D. to the 3rd century A.D., the Agapetae were Christian virgin s who consecrated themselves to God with a vow of chastity . They were one of a number of early Christian classes of virgins who associated with men as sisters . The Agapetae lived with laymen, originally in a spiritual community of mutual support. The laymen too took vows of chastity, and looked after the material interests of their sisters . Abuses and scandals occurred, however. St. Cyprian and St. Jerome both condemned the practice. In 314, the Council of Ancyra forbade virgins consecrated to God to live with men as sisters . The practice did continue for some years. The Agapetae are distinct from the Virgines subintroductae , who were another class of virgins who lived with clerics. The name comes from the Greek language Greek word agapetai , meaning beloved . The Agapetae were also a branch of the Gnostics in the late 4th century, who held that sexual relations were only improper if the mind was impure. References cite book author Fred E. H.
