Just a thought on the title of this article; whilst this may be true, and those who are against ‘hierarchies’ in the church always cite the fact that the early church was not a heir-achy, as the reason churches should never be such.
But wait – whilst I am not arguing that the church should or shouldn’t be a heir-achy – this argument holds no water as being a good reason not to have them. Why? Because the early church – or ANY group of people or movement would never start as a heir-achy. It would always start and as a rag-tag group of folks in agreement (and often struggling to find agreement) without hierarchical organisation.
So my point simply is – if we are saying heir-achy in the church is bad (Im not saying it necessarily is) then we need a better reason than to say it didn’t start as one.
It also might be worth noting there will be heir-achy in heaven. Not perhaps the kind we are used to modelled by the kings, queens and rulers on earth, but this is described in The Bible.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related. Quick note – my articles are usually spun off in minutes so forgive any errors – hopefully you get the essence of the article and I’ll pick up mistakes later.
