I've been thinking about putting together something on church government/leadership for some years now - in fact, ever since I got myself into strife among some Baptists for pointing out that in the only two cases we have in the NT about the appointment of elders they were appointed by the archbishop (General Superintendent in Aust Baptist lingo) and the local church appears to have had no say in the matter - Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5
