James is speaking about guests, not saints in leadership, so any discussion about the platform is not relevant to the context.
The simple context of the verse is that James is saying churches shouldn't put one guest above another. We shouldn't walk past and ignore the bum on our way to shake the hand of the affluent businessman. We shouldn't offer the politician a plush pew while making the town drunk sit on a metal chair in the lobby.
