摘要

This Chapter, the introduction, provides terminological clarifications and outlines the problem discussed in the book. Having presented the study’s argument, the discussion moves on to explore the hermeneutical and methodological challenges involved in analysing the tension between the global legislation of the church and its local implementation in the multiple churches worldwide. It also explores how the law positions centralised and decentralised legislation and how it contributes to the creation of asymmetrical power relations between global and local agents.
