An Idea For A Regular Feature

How about a theological word of the day? This could be helpful in your theological reading.

Today the word is:
ecclesial (pronounced ekk-leez-ial)
It means of or pertaining to the church, or its organization, the institution of, teaching or doctrine of the Church.
This word is increasingly being used in place of "ecclesiastical" in theological writings. The root word is from the Koine (biblical) Greek word transliterated "ekklesia"(which means assembly/church). This is often pronounced ekk-la-see-a which is fine. But if you want to say it more accurately, say ekk-lay-see-a. Pronunciation is of little importance so don't become an elocution Pharisee.
