Interesting discussion of the types of Church government, but it's primarily from a Presbyterian point of view and seeks to justify that view. I wouldn't call it an unbiased examination of the subject. But, there may be useful information for those interested in Ecclesiastical organization and governance.
Quote:
The various forms of Church Government that we find existing at present in the Christian world may be classed under some one or other of these three heads: PRELACY, INDEPENDENCY, and PRESBYTERY. We do not employ these terms in an offensive sense, but as being the best calculated to denote their respective systems.
