 – perhaps this question belongs on Revelation rather than CP, but it pertains to Hebrews

 

There is no monarchic episcopacy in Hebrews but leaders (hegounenoi). Why assume that the single angel of the churches in Rev refers to a single leader and not the character or spirit of the church community and factions?
