It sounds exactly like the resource and wisdom that is needed in the needed shift the church is making in both a biblical and cultural context.

We enjoy functioning as a community without an organized structure or regular intentional meetings. This has been the case for several years now, and marriages have been strengthened during this time, people are growing in their relationship with God and one another, and people are being drawn to Christ through the friendships established. Mission efforts in other countries have been rewarding as well.
I definitely am not against regular meetings, but believe that every expression of genuine church life will be different in every situaion if we lean on the Holy Spirit to guide us rather than a specific model.
