Definition

Ecclesial segregation refers to the division or separation of different religious groups within a church or religious institution. It can occur due to various reasons, such as differences in beliefs, practices, or cultural backgrounds. This segregation may result in the formation of separate congregations, services, or ministries within the same religious organization, where each group caters to a specific segment of the church population.
