MacDuff,

I don't mean to be critical, but I have a real hard time seeing what your overall point is. You state a lot of theory, but practically how to do see a church operating?

Are you saying that leaders of a church have no authority in the church? If so, how are problems handled? Who takes the lead and who has the authority to execute action, ultimately? This is a very practical question. The problem I have with what you say is it's just you and your theory. I don't see any practical realization of what you are talking about. Just you saying that you are right and everyone else is wrong.

What's your practical answer? How are churches to operate practically? Please try to keep your answer under 200 words if you don't mind. Thanks.
