Answer:

Friars are called to live in Evangelical counsels with a variety of different vows, while monks make vows or commitments in a particular community, or place.

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFINITION: Friars are different from monks in that they are called to live the evangelical counsels (vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience) in service to society, rather than through cloistered asceticism and devotion. ... Monks or nuns make their vows and commit to a particular community in a particular place.
