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.

First time I've ever seen it.
But then Americans do that. They also came up with the Doctrine of Discovery.
