Product Overview
Every church of any denomination or tradition has a polity. "Polity" simply refers to the system by which a body is organized and governed. "Polity" does not mean "politics"-with that word's connotations of partisanship and special interests doing battle-although some people would say every church has those, too. Church polity, rather, is a shared understanding of how we are going to live together, how we will make decisions, how we will be accountable to one another, and how we will act together to do God's work.
