A dispute between believers is exactly what I was referring to.

Then you possess the most OBSCURE way of 'referring' to something I've EVER seen!

People who don’t appreciate hierarchy won’t appreciate the Book of Acts or the Epistles, where we see the basic hierarchy of diaconoi - presbyteroi-episcopoi being established by the calling of select men and the laying on of hands; and, as Fr. Pope’s article points out, the calling of authoritative councils and synods.

Thank you.
