Polity podcast is your friend
To many Presbyterians, polity is synonymous with rules—“things that confine approaches to ministry,” said Jihyun Oh, Director of Mid Council Ministries (MCM) in the Office of the General Assembly.
But Oh and others in MCM view polity as much broader than that, and more generative than restrictive. Beyond providing governance for Presbyterian leaders and councils, polity is a source of encouragement and inspiration to those reimagining their work in ministry.
