Ignatius supported the concept of which ecclesial structure?
Presbyterian
Congregational
Episcopal
Anabaptist
Answer
The episcopal ecclesial structure, as supported by Ignatius, emphasizes the significance of bishops as leaders and overseers of local church communities. This structure establishes a hierarchical order within the church, with bishops holding a central role in decision-making, teaching, and maintaining unity among believers. Ignatius believed this hierarchical arrangement ensured the preservation of sound doctrine, proper conduct, and the orderly functioning of the church.
