Patriarchal (e.g. 1 Tim 2, 1 Cor 11, 14), council of elders (shepherds), one overseeing shepherd (now Howard Temple)
Complementarian as opposed to egalitarian, different roles and vocations for men and women (1 Tim 2, Eph 5)
Submission and headship (symbolised by headcoverings - 1 Cor 11 wives to men, men to Christ, Christ to God). Also 1 Cor 14 (women to be quiet, rely on their husbands to explain spiritual things)
Self-sufficiency (autarky).
Communist - living like the primitive church in Acts (all resources shared in the community, Acts 4:32-37).
