Ecclesiastical Governance

Ecclesiastical governance refers to the organizational and administrative structures through which religious institutions, particularly Christian churches, manage their affairs. This involves establishing leadership roles, such as bishops and priests, who oversee spiritual and operational matters. Decisions are often guided by doctrines and traditions, and may include church laws and policies. Governance can vary significantly between different denominations, reflecting diverse beliefs and practices. The aim is to ensure the effective functioning of the church, support its mission, and engage with the community while maintaining accountability and adherence to spiritual principles.
