All I read concerning Calvin's Geneva refers to [b:b6d6d70e13]a Consistory[/b:b6d6d70e13]. It leaves me with the impression that we are too congregational. That there true model would have a session governing several congregations in a limited (city or sub-presbytery) area.

Extend this to the church of Jerusalem and you have the session (Apostles and perhaps other elders) governing several congregations that can handle the thousands of Christians.
