To reiterate – comps see the relationship between Christ and the Church as 1 dimensional. In other words, there is only one relational paradigm, and it is the head/body, husband/bride one. Even though they may agree that the head/body metaphor does not denote authority, they still believe it is all muddled together and so whenever they do see authority, they incorporate it into the “marriage”. They then extend it to church organization because, as we all know (where is that sarcasm smiley), you can’t have authority over a woman in the home but then have her have authority over you in another realm. Why that just doesn;t work at all.
