You suggest a rotating presidency and yet you do not believe there should be a leading elder?Even though the Scriptures tell us that each local congregation is to be governed by a plurality of Elders, along with the support of the Deacons, it is interesting that Paul does not go any further with any suggestions that there should be a president appointed from amongst the Elders. This may have been a pragmatic choice on his part as the authority of any local assembly of Elders would be controlled by the social setting that the local church finds itself within.
In my opinion, I would like to see a rotating presidency where the presidency is shared by various Elders over a period of time, though not all Elders would be necessarily suited to this role.
