congregationalism

/ˌkɑŋɡɹəˈɡeɪʃənəˌlɪzəm/ noun

Any of several forms of church organization in which each congregation is responsible for its own government.

Word Origin From Latin 'grex' — a flock or herd — with 'con-' meaning together. To congregate is to gather into a flock. 'Congregationalism' is a system of church governance where each congregation is autonomous. The root 'grex' gives us 'segregate' (to separate from the flock), 'aggregate' (to bring to the flock), 'gregarious' (flock-loving), and 'egregious' (out of the flock, outstanding, then remarkably bad). The PIE root *ger- meant to gather.
