An ecclesia is:

a religious organization that claims total spiritual authority over its members
a church organized around voluntary rather than compulsory membership
a sect or cult with a very small following
a hierarchy of priests or other spiritual leaders
a religious organization that claims total spiritual authority over its members  In Medieval Europe, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church was closely tied to the political hierarchy of the state, and individuals would be born into their positions in both institutions. This form of religious organization is most accurately described as an ecclesia, but in everyday language, we often call it a church. An ecclesia is especially powerful because of the close connection between its hierarchy and the state’s: it claims total spiritual authority over its members. 413-414
