Also abbreviated as OCDS.

“Lay Carmelite” usually refers to the other third order, the “Third Order of Our Lady of Mt Carmel”, that stems from the Carmelite Order of the Ancient Observance, and not the group reformed by St. Teresa of Avila.

 

[Anne1964]

The ancient order are referred to as the O. Carm’s. Not sure if there is another name for them.

I’m a Secular Carmelite in an OCDS community.
