Middle judicatory

(

)

Attendees at a meeting of a Welsh presbytery in Berriew in 1940.

... that the term "middle judicatory", which many denominations use for their mid-tier organizations, originated in Presbyterian courts for church discipline?

Source: "Such campaigns disclose yet a third internal system, congregations and regional or middle judicatories. The latter, variously termed association, presbytery, conference, diocese, region, or synod, functions administratively between congregations and the national or international structures and authority." https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofre0001unse_r5c3

"Fascinating, and less well explored, is the same process that prevailed among congregations of Presbyterians at the same time. Pastors, for example, became supervisors in new and different ways. They had long supervised the administration of church discipline, a practice in which the session or other governing body sat as a court to judge the merits of complaints against members for grossly sinful behavior." https://archive.org/details/organizationalre00loui
