Subject: Biblical Function Of Elders? |
Bible Note: Searcher Very interesting, thank you for those scriptures it brought light to the whole thing. As to rule of churches - By congregation? How does that work, do you know? Is that done by vote or some such, by the boards? Elder is a pretty broad term, overseer is another way of putting it. A pastor or a teacher could be said to be an elder, or overseer. A deacon could be said to be an elder, but perhaps not an overseer. We have deacons, and trustees, some of whom are on the elder board, and then the pastor who works more closely with the elder board than with the deacons per se. Not all of our deacons and trustees are male, but all of our elders are. We have a lady associate minister udner the headship of the pastor, but she does not interact very closely with the elder board, but does with the deacons. Our church is a little bit different than a lot of others. Our elders are responsible for matters of conduct and church governance and work together with the pastor on these matters, he consults with them and makes descisions in concert with their input a lot of the time, but not always. blessings abound, bowler |
