conciliar

It was that kind of ecclesiastical polity which has become known as Presbyterian, but which might be better called Conciliar.

The same universal aspect appeared once more in the age of the conciliar movement, at the beginning of the 15th century.

In the reign of Henry VI conciliar and ecclesiastical authorities both took part at different times and in different ways.

Two silentiarii, having mended their fine pens of Egyptian reed, got ready to write down the conciliar debate.

So personal had the system of jurisdiction become that even the trials of bishops ceased to be necessarily conciliar.
