This chapter discusses democracy in the context of the church means and its consequences for governance and leadership. The chapter looks at historical and current assessments of the understanding of church democracy and relates this discussion to current democracy theory. The chapter assesses justifications used for ecclesiastical democracy and considers responsibility, authority, governance and leadership. The concept of “democratic culture” and the potential for development of governing bodies and leadership to realize the (church’s) political intentions are also discussed.
