My dear, sweet wife sent me an article the other day from Vision Forum about the authority of Christ and the church. It is called "The Authority of Christ's Church" and it is a really good read. It discusses a number of issues including the roles of Elders and the relationship of the Church with government. It is a bit lengthy so you may want to read it in the sections it is broken up into, but I do highly recommend that you read it all.

Nice article except for one very important fact that the author left out. The keys were given to St. Peter in Matt. 16:19, however in Matthew 18:18 there is no mention of the keys...
The implication that I see is that the "keys" allow Peter to carry out the charge that follows. In Ch. 18 the same "charge" is given, so one could infer that "keys" would have been given here as well. Either way, it obviously does deserve a bit more research.
