Cross posting this question from a user on the r/Reformed sub on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Reformed/comments/ax1j1u/reformed_resources_on_the_bounds_of_the_authority/
“I am looking for solidly Reformed resources on the extent to which church leadership may extend in the behaviour of the church membership. The more heavy-weight, the better. I am particularly interested in where the boundaries lie with regards to stated meetings of the church and the authority of elders to govern what occurs in those meetings. As a contrived example, do elders have the authority to govern what members wear or talk about?
“I am not looking for a discussion or opinions, but specifically orthodox Reformed resources. Books, articles, and sermons are all good.”
Thanks, brothers and sisters.
