Church order

Church order is the systematically organized set of rules drawn up by a qualified body of a local church. From the point of view of civil law, the church order can be described as the internal law of the church. A church order explains precisely what a document is, in a clinical and matter of fact tone, without conveying the spiritual nature of the document.

For this concept in Lutheranism, see Church Order (Lutheran).
