Definitions
A term specific to Methodism, referring to anything relating to the Connexion — the organizational structure that links all Methodist churches together under shared governance, discipline, and mission. Methodist polity is fundamentally connexional rather than congregational or episcopal, meaning authority and resources flow through the network of churches rather than residing in a single congregation or bishop. The word appears in Methodist governance documents, conference minutes, and theological writing.
The decision required approval at the connexional level, not just from the local circuit.
