My conclusion is that the local church is to be governed by a plurality of individuals who are described in the New Testament as elders, insofar as they hold an office of great dignity and importance (perhaps even with an allusion to age or at least spiritual maturity), or bishops, insofar as they exercise oversight of the body of Christ, or pastors, insofar as they spiritually feed, care for, and exercise guardianship over the flock of God.

INGREDIENTS

2	c	Japanese white rice
2 1/2	c	Water
1/3	c	Mirin (rice cooking wine)
3	tb	Rice vinegar
1/2	ts	Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Gently rinse the rice a couple of times until the water is clear.  Drain it
in a colander for half an hour.  Place the rice and water in a heavy pot
covered tightly with a lid.  Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes
until steam escapes the lid. Immediately turn the heat to low and cook for
10 - 15 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from the
heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the mirin, vinegar, and salt in a small saucepan
until the salt is dissolved.
Put the cooked rice in a large mixing bowl.  While vigorously fanning the
rice to cool it (newspapers or a small electric fan is useful, not to
mention a friend), slowly stir in the mirin mixture. Continue stirring and
fanning until the rice is cool. Makes 4 cups.
