It's an ugly word and not one we Britons are used to hearing. It refers as far as I can tell to a church polity; a denominational or similar jurisdiction. The article is thought provoking and worth pondering imho. The last sentence might reel you in:

When leaders hear this, they intuitively sense its rightness but feel again they are being catapulted into an unthinkable world. How does one one reinvent a judicatory shaped by programs and seek to provide resources to transform it into a mission agency?"
