The thing they try to describe is what's important. Sometimes people say 'house church' not because they're unwilling to be anywhere except in a house, but because it's the best handle they can think of. You know? What they might really mean is there is no authority structure, or they don't like big groups, or they share a family meal, or something else.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024046243018838005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7588328928227524790.post-46088215219977403612010-01-15T22:10:55.018+00:002010-01-15T22:10:55.018+00:00"House church, small church, gathering, organ..."House church, small church, gathering, organic church, home group, cell, small group are all terms I've seen or heard."<br><br>Me too, Chris. But these all seem to point to wineskins (and definitely wineskins that are limited to a certain size). But I'm seeking a term that include something that could grow (by God's hand) under a rock, at the bottom of the ocean, or (GASP) within the confines of a large church (whether "official" or behind the scenes to what is happening there). <br><br>I don't think the posts you give above leave quite enough room...but perhaps I'm too optimistic : )Jim Wehdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13919887315731315298noreply@blogger.com
