I wanted to thank Aquila for pointing out many of the strengths of the modern House Church movement to me. I always saw them as a fringe group who hated real churches.. but after reading the new Barna books with huge statistics on North American house church attendance and seeing some of the amazing new work the Southern Baptists are doing planting metro house church networks in North America my eyes are open to whats going on under the radar.
I am still reading a pile of books I have ordered from the various sites and digesting how it affects my understanding of how to do and order a new church plant... but either way its great stuff with the ability to affect many people in a positive way.
Just wanted to say thanks in a public forum since he got me started on the interesting new(old/ancient) thing here on AFF.
