Ecclesiology

Ecclesiology is the study of the church, its nature, structure, purpose, and role in society. It explores how churches are organized, the significance of their rituals, and how they relate to their communities and to God. Different denominations may have varying beliefs about what the church is and how it should function. Ecclesiology addresses questions like: What does it mean to be a church? How do church members interact? What is the church's mission in the world? Essentially, it's about understanding the church's identity and its impact on individuals and society.
