- Laity is the common term used to describe everyone who is not clergy. Laity in Greek is laos, “the people”. In the early Church the word referred to the new chosen people; the laos theou, the people of God. Through the years, “laity” evolved with a more negative connotation that attempted to distinguish the “common” people from the “elite” clergy. Vatican II did much to recapture the original meaning of the word reminding us that laity is all the people of God who are called through their baptism to transform the world.
