Where in scripture is there a necessity for "patriarchal authority" of one church over another, and where in scripture is such authority conferred?

I believe it's the same passage that mandates Wednesday night Bible studies, altar calls, and TV ministries.

Seriously though, that's the question I believe we are discussing here.
