The fact is that we have seen and still do see great perversity in congregational, presbyterian, and prelatic contexts. To be honest, I tire of the arguments for a particular polity that go, "Well, in X form of church government, this would never happen." Our concern with regard to polity should not be what is practical, but what is biblical.

In a perfectly pragmatic world, every system of govt works ideally.
 
This not a matter of one polity vs. another. But since you broke that seal:

When a whacko like Anderson is put in charge of a church, that ruins exactly one congregation. As a counterpoint, I give you the entire PC(USA), in which you don't even have to be a Christian, or even a Theist, to become an ordained minister.

Frederick Douglass once said that when the best bodies die, they give off the worse odours. Presbyterianism is the best system of church government, but when it goes wrong it stinks badly.
 
This thread has strayed far from the original OP. However, it did not end in fisticuffs like most KJV threads. Good job, people!
