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:
"What is required is a completely different metaphor that might splice into and transform denominational DNA, that of the judicatory as a mission agency. 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?"
There are some signs in this country that seem to confirm this; but I suspect we have to notice it collectively and turn it intentional.
