So once upon a time there were the Pilgrims, and I could write about that for hours, but the tl;dr is the Pilgrims had a special sauce about religion. The Pilgrims violently distrusted any kind of central authority: no pope, no king, no bishops or cardinals or presbyters or elder council.

For the Pilgrims all doctrine is made by democratic vote of the church members. And ministers are hired and fired by the voters, not any central authority.
