See, for example: The Dominican order and convocation; a study of the growth of representation in the church during the thirteenth century, rnest Barker, Sir 1913 English Book 83, [1] p. 24 cm.

I include his query to me below, and ask that you might help me with appropriate recommendations to him as to what to read. Many thanks Cecilia "I'm looking for information on the organization of the medieval church, especially the religious orders. I've seen hints that they pioneered democratic procedures (majority voting, rules of order, etc). Also the Cluny reforms seem to have established a system of tighter administrative control over individual houses that may have been a model for later secular administrations. Any suggestions?"
