Is ChristianForums your 'Chruch'?

[Droobie]

ChrisitanForums has grown to be a great source of discussion among thousands of Christians over the past two years. Also a source of advice and support too. But is it enough to fulfill 'all' your spiritual needs? Would you consider CF as your church?

[Dawn Marie]

I don't go to church, and I don't have any Christian friends. So I guess you could say this is my church.

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Fellowship hall maybe, smattering of humanity quite possibly, a community, most definately...but church? I'm sorry, but no.

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I just noticed that you spelled it "C-h-r-u-c-h" do you mean "c-r-u-t-c-h" or "c-h-u-r-c-h"?

The answer might change the whole dynamic of the question.

[Blessed-one]

it says 'church' in the poll.

no, i don't think it can entirely replace the physical aspect of a church. Interacting online ultimately is different from interactions in a physical church, but if we're talking about church being all Christ's followers, then yes, CF can qualify as a church in a way.

[Neenie]

Well if i miss a sunday church, this is my church.

[Yalith]

Not exactly my church, although I rarely attend church recently, as I have moved 3x in the past year. But I feel like it is really a great community of many diverse Christians and non-Christians, and we really all have something to learn from each other.

:smile:

[Konnie]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group.

[AtlantaFest04]

as a church? no but a great fellowship hall

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I know it says "church" in the poll. And it is misspelled in the title. Is ChristianForums your 'Chruch'? What I said was meant as a tease, a joke....
Oh ye of no sense of humor. :rolleyes:

[Blessed-one]

lol.. sorry Wisdom Seeker. :)
i know i'm not much of a joker..

[TCapp]

Nope. I need eye-contact, face-to-face Christians to interact with in order to feel my needs are being met. Although I like talking to others online here. Tonight, our church is having a New Year's get together. It would be awfully hard to play pictionary, jenga, and twister with folks online. :D

Pass the potato chips! ^_^

[Col]

Well I just love it here. There are so many interesting people and view points. It is a fantastic place to explore your faith, beliefs and those of others. I think it is more of a fellowship and an "everything you wanted to know about Christianity but were afraid to ask" place.
I am finding out things about other christian streams that I have never had the opportunity to do before, it is very enlightening and exciting. I know that a lot of questions I have asked here would have drawn blank looks or strange looks to christian people I know. That is not to say that I am not still drawing blank and or strange looks from people in cyberspace. ;)
I don't have a "Church home" at the moment, I attend several Churches but don't feel I belong anywhere, but I would really like to have a Church to call home and I am really hoping to find one this year.
My favourie Web Church is www.alphachurch.org (http://www.alphachurch.org/) , it is very peaceful and welcoming, and well worth a visit.
So, long-story-short, Fellowship - Yes

Bless Ya
Col :) <><

[Lizzy16]

I do go to church, but not to a catholic one though, and I have many christian friends and I also go to youth group, so this place for me is like a study group....

[Bullheadangel811]

No because i go to church and I love it, but I see it as a fellowship and study group.
God Bless

[Snowy]

I see it as a fellowship/study group...but could be called a church for online :)

[katylees]

fellowship/study group, as i go to church and have other christian friends, but this place is really cool :) i'm on here most days!!

[Droobie]

I know it says "church" in the poll. And it is misspelled in the title. What I said was meant as a tease, a joke....
Oh ye of no sense of humor. :rolleyes:
Okay okay... so I can't sprell!

[Kathy]

I love Christian Forums but,I don't see it as a church. I see it as fellowship/study group.

[growingupinhim]

:) as a church? no but a great fellowship hall

[II Paradox II]

ChrisitanForums has grown to be a great source of discussion among thousands of Christians over the past two years. Also a source of advice and support too. But is it enough to fulfill 'all' your spiritual needs? Would you consider CF as your church?
No, I have real church in my life. I don't think a messageboard can ever replace the necessity of flesh and blood in one's life...

ken

[Krazeekkc]

:angel: This isn't my church. Though I do not actually 'go' to a church because I have been to all the churches around where I live, but didn't like any of them. :bow: So I watch Cornerstone Church in San Antonio Texas. My pastor is John Hagee. :priest: He is the greatest pastor! He's funny and to the point. He comes on channel 20 for all of you who have cable and digital cable. You should watch him sometime! :angel: On Sunday he comes on at 1:00-2:00. (without commercials) He also comes on everyday at 6:30-7:00 for a half an hour and comes on again at 1:00-1:30 for a half an hour with the same show as the one in the morning! :angel:

[Dracil]

No, I see it as just another messageboard I go to socialize and debate about stuff.

[Cozmo]

Ask yourself this, isn't church where there are believers gathered together to help, uplift and counsel other believers? Do you really think that church is only confined to a building?

Church = body of believers

I see Christian forums as a fellowship / study group but also as a church.

:angel:

[kwimmer]

This isn't a church. You don't really 'know' body more than what than what they can conveigh in print. There is no and can be no communion here. There can be no filling of physical needs here. This is a place to exchange thoughts not a church.

[Glorianna]

Although this forum is valuable for discussing things, it should never be viewed as the equivalent of church.

[rooms4140]

This forum is a place to meet and fellowship with other believers, keep in mind, the church is made up of believers, so it is at an disadvantage, and I canot call this entire forum a church. Without people, a building is only a building.

[BlackMoon]

I appreciate all of these forums but nothing can subsitute my home church.

[KristianJ]

It sort of is and it sort of isn't. Bits could qualify as a church, but since we have non-believers in our gathering then it sort of isn't. It's more a fellowship group for me and is not a replacement for my church.

[Bulldog]

I guess that I can say it is. I, unfortunatly, currently do not attend at church say CF can be a great tool. :)

[Delta]

I consider this more of a Christian Fellowship Group...

[elijahlexis]

This isn't a church. You don't really 'know' body more than what than what they can conveigh in print. There is no and can be no communion here. There can be no filling of physical needs here. This is a place to exchange thoughts not a church.

excellent point!!!!!!!!!!!!
while i would disagree with "there can be no filling of physical needs here".
i would argue that there need not be any mind payed to "physical" needs
as such when the business you are going about is spiritual. :cool:
define church
in the new testament church was house to house, and there was also the synagogoue, but christianity put a covenant into what "church" was and that was a place to worship, uplift, surrender to God,reason together("this is a place to exchange thoughts not a church") , a plac eto experience and to share the Love that is Christ in one's life, to seek God, to know Him more.
i believe that in the very spirit of the word church
the main thing would be that it is a place to serve, not a place to be served.
a place to give all i can to God and surrender to Him and let Him shine through me in that i am living a humble and loving life with my fellow man, that i sek to be a servant to all that have no hope and draw them near to Him who is Hope eternal!!
this is church
we build one another up, we let God shape us here
we love
we weep
we rejoice
we give all glory to God in all we do to find where He would place us to do His greater will :clap: :bow: :pray:

just a few thoughts

[elijahlexis]

It sort of is and it sort of isn't. Bits could qualify as a church, but since we have non-believers in our gathering then it sort of isn't. It's more a fellowship group for me and is not a replacement for my church.

getting a kick
since when are "non-believers" unwelcome in church?
are "they" not what "we" are called to when we recieve Christ?
do we not have an obligation to accept "non-believers" as they are
to not judge (not to say that you can't speak the truth of someone)
to love unconditionally
even when we are wronged
to be a testimony in all that we do and say
are we to just go to church to preach to each other
does God only have a word for the "believer"
God can't have "them" in the church these days??!!
just because a place is not your church, doesnt make it not a church
you can be at church and not have church the whole time yu are there
or you can have church when you ain;t at church
you can have church or (my favorite saying along these lines)
"be the church"
i am the church
we are the church
but only inso much as we are seeking Christ

[OceanAngel]

Fellowship hall place that doesn't serve Cheese Sandwiches is how I see it.

[Spear Man]

There is "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church" instituted by Christ Himself.

[Heaven_Bound]

It should not be considered a Church, therefore I put a fellowship/studygroup. I given up TV and this is where I spend most of my free time. I love to visit and talk to people with the same interests and get other peoples views on different topics.

I do believe some people use this as a source of spiritual advice though, and I think that is awesome. Before the Internet, hence my age, I worked a compressed work week through the weekends so I was not able to go to church and I would have loved to come to a site like this during that time.

[†Neil†]

isnt a church the fellowship of people and im seeing a lot of that here.

[oldrooster]

I see it as a fellowship, not a church

[GinooKo]

I see it as a fellowship as well, not a church

[kat00_ca]

Same here. I view CF as a source of information and fellowship for Christians and non-Christians alike.

[jeffs_girl_2004]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group.

[Roxa]

it is more fellowship with people my age.

[Krystina661]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group.

Agree, I definitely see it as a fellowship/study group. I don't go to church, but I can't see how any type of message board could possibly be a church for anyone..

[GlowingFirefly]

I think it more of a fellowship and study group. Since I have some Christian friends and go to church. :)

[Niko]

sure its a church. Hey theres even a priest over here, and some eucharist over there...YA RIGHT! I dont think Erwin is ready to have his own religion ;)

[TheMainException]

I don't think that this should be considered church. Church is where you go to a place and sing and pray with other believers and talk to them face to face...that is church.

[caitlincares]

It is a wonderful place to come for fellowship.

[LadyBird]

Absolutly not. I do not consider CF a church. It's just a forum in which Christians and other people of different beliefs gather and chat and argue. That's all it ever will be to me.

[zoe_uu]

No, not for me. But if others find it is a church for them, then good for them.

[LiberatedChick]

Currently I do not physically attend any church...so yes I guess this could be considered as my church. At least at this present moment.

[TomUK]

I am uneasy with it being termed 'a church'. Scratch that, to so i'm uneasy would imply in some way that CF is a church, and it most certainly isn't.

[kyansk]

Not a church for me. My church is a place of worship, Bible reading, study, music and fellowship. I'm an outgoing person, and haven't got the hang of making friends yet through the site. I ask questions and make comments concerning issues, but for the most part, I'm kinda ignored. Not to say it won't happen...it's just a different environment and I'm not too forum savy! :wave: I've learned a LOT through this site!!! This place should be called: "Everything you wanted to ask about faith and were afraid to ask".

[Dark_Adonis]

ChrisitanForums has grown to be a great source of discussion among thousands of Christians over the past two years. Also a source of advice and support too. But is it enough to fulfill 'all' your spiritual needs? Would you consider CF as your church? I can't consider CF to be my church only because it isn't a physical place. I enjoy interacting with fellow believers etc., but to me that doesn't really make it a church, I prefer to feel things in the real world

[Moros]

Just for fellowship and learning.

[Droobie]

Are there any who feel that they are covered 'spiritually' by CF?

[Big Mouth Nana]

I consider CF more of a place to see what is on other peoples brains regarding the end times. Most generally in your own home church believe about the same way that you do. I like to see where peoples heads are at, and believe me, they have been in some strange places!!!

[rhemarob]

Its a great resource but nothing compares to the assembly of The Body.

[BobbieDog]

This is definitely a good question.
Cyber space is an increasing part of the human landscape.
The are types of meeting and exchange possible in it, that would be difficult terrestially; and the technology will roll on apace, so the landscape will richen.
It's a new frontier. By the nature of cyber space, God grounded witness stretches out to try to cover, grasp and redeem the whole shooting match.
It's an unprecedented opportunity to develop faith and witness perspective, that might reddem the global human totality.
What is a Church.
A locus of communion and fellowship; others you take fairly absolute responsibility for, and they for you.
So, yes, there are moments for me, where I have Jesus grounded communion with others; where my faith is tested and grows, where I am flying in faith alone.
To me that takes CF towards Church. It doesn't have to be like any other Church form, or any terrestial Christian form. This a fresh and distinct landscape of meeting my neighbours, from all over the globe and the faith compass; its forms will reflect its soil and climate.

[TheDandyMan]

Not a church. A clean, entertaining use of spare time, yes. But not a church.

[cat has felt the light!]

had to put that I wasn't sure cos although this is a great link to other christians and I use it sometimes as a learning aid, I'm still searching for a proper church to attend
C@ xx

[faith by day]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group.......

[Touring3D]

I love fellowshiping with other believers. That's why I come here! :D

[The "J"]

No.

[The "J"]

But there's another Christian board I would nearly call my "local" body of Christ.

[~Mrs. A2J~]

I put yes as I don't have a church home right now and don't know many other Christians so this is my only link to the Christian world.Sarah

[Rev. Smith]

For a whole lot of reasons "church" needs to be a place of contact where Christians can give and take fellowship. With rare exceptions I don't think it matters much where you do it (there are some cults and heretical sects out there, but they are - gratefully - few and far between). We learn and grow, gain support and strength by meeting with, sharing with and worshipping with others. "Wherver two or more are gathered in my name:, does not imply hanging out alone with your computer.

That said, CF is incredably valuable for computer using Christians, it is a safe place to debate, explore, learn, ask and answer questions and have our minds filled with knowledge, without confrontation or the fear of rebuke from a Pastor, Elder or Bishop.

[Bradford]

A hearty Amen to that, and then, as well, CF doesn't administer the Sacraments- so, by definition, it cannot be considered a "church"

[Breetai]

Agreed with Rev. Smith and Bradford. I do think that it can be considered a 'church'. One should not confine themselves only to CF though! We need some 'human' fellowship as well, it's extremely important. As Bradford said, we need to share Baptism and the Lord's Supper with other Christians.

[SkyAngel]

Like others who have posted here, I don't go to church right now and don't have any christian friends to fellowship with. I need this forum as a connection to Christians and am so glad to have found it! I've been attending on and off a Catholic and Baptist church in my neighborhood for 5 years, but one is closing and the other one only has 2 people in a "dead" worship service and I live in an area (suburban Boston) where either everyone attends synagogue or most churches have compromised with new age teachings. One Congregational church baptizes in the name of God as Mother so as not to offend people who disagree with the Trinity. Our Catholic churches are falling apart due to sex scandals and lawsuits so they are taking away our churches to make up for it. So I have decided to call myself non-denominational and have stopped going to church because online is my only option for biblical christian fellowship! This forum means a lot to me!:pray: :wave:

[Jesus_Inside]

Yes and no. Because a church is just the body of Christ, right? So in that case yes but at the same time I am involved with my church so it is not the my only link to a Christian body.

[Breetai]

Our Catholic churches are falling apart due to sex scandals and lawsuits so they are taking away our churches to make up for it. So I have decided to call myself non-denominational and have stopped going to church because online is my only option for biblical christian fellowship!Check out the Lutheran church.

[Bladecarver]

It's a fun place to fellowship, but not a church. Now, if services were held, maybe things would be different.

[brinny]

No. It's a place to hang out but not anything like a church.

[God'sgal]

I voted that no, it isn't enough to fulfill ALL my spiritual needs, but all a church really is is teaching and learning and fellowship "For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" Matt. 18:21

[indeep]

I do not consider it to be my church, nor do I really see it as a church... a community, for sure, but a church, no.

[Hisbygrace]

I believe that Christian forums along with other good Christian sites are wonderful avenues of growth and learning. They do much to help us understand our fellow Christians and their believeths. They also can be a great aide in reaching the lost sheep of Christ and a dynamic teaching tool. But they cannot and should not replace your church, for we each need the physical surrounding of other Christians.
Blessing and peace to all; YSIC Hisbygrace

[Mϋzikdϋde]

Totally for fellowship.

[Mϋzikdϋde]

Check out the Lutheran church.
Opportunist :P

[yashuaskid]

ChrisitanForums has grown to be a great source of discussion among thousands of Christians over the past two years. Also a source of advice and support too. But is it enough to fulfill 'all' your spiritual needs? Would you consider CF as your church?
God says that we should assemble ourselves together. I don't believe that means we have to go to church every week but...we should be among other Christians growing together. We need each other but, to use a computer as your only means of Church isn't something I could personally do. I need that personal oneness with others.

[SuperSmart]

it is sort of like my church during the week

[Christian Dude]

I honestly see it as more of a fellowship/study group.

Nothing should be substituted for church unless you are unable to go.

If you're able to go, then go. Nothing like going to church. :)

In Christ's Love,
Brian

[okiemommy26]

No its not my church I go to church and i dont think it should be consider a church

[Neal]

More like a fellowship... church, I think, incorporates more like worship and such things... an internet website doesn't really do that.

[Maeyken]

Nope. I don't see it as a church at all. A community- perhaps, but not a church. A church needs leadership, and that is not something that is found here. Advice from fellow Christians yes, but no formal leadership.

[Zoomer]

fellowship/study hall

[jcright]

No, it's not my church...but I do find it's a good source for learning just the same.

[chris714ndud3]

No, I visit my own church every Sunday. But, all Christians on this site are part of Christ's Church.

[Archangel]

CF I believe is just members of the church interacting with each other. It isnt a church, just as a building isnt a church,...CF is simply another method of Christians meeting together.

There is only one church...that is the worldwide body of Christ...we Christians are all part of the same kingdom...just in different neighbourhoods.

I dont think CF should be the sole meeting place for a Christian...there must be physical interaction with physical people...rather than virtual interaction with physcial people.

[p_kitha]

its a home church

[brinny]

no

[Raheelah]

i see CF as as fellowship / online study group, everyone should get to "church" on a sunday if that is the day they meet where possible there is nothing quite like meeting with God with other people around you in the same atmospeare :) ;) :D :cool: :P :wave: :thumbsup: :amen: :clap: :hug: :preach: :prayer: :groupray: :bow: :angel:

[Waylon]

I think this site is a great place for fellowship but there is just something about praying for someone and laying hands on them. Or if someone is down, sitting with them and talking, or giving hugs and such. I think that is why Paul was always saying he longed to see the people of the Churches he was writing to. It's fellowship and togetherness that can't be done with just written words. This isn't really a church, but I really love this site and am glad I stumbled upon it.

[AliveInChrist]

No. I go to regular church. But CF is really great! Thanks Erwin for inventing it!

[bubblefish]

More of a fellowship than a church.
But recently more like a church since I have not been able to attend services. It is the only real contact I have with other Christians at the moment, other than some of my friends.

[LadyCoyote_Fin]

This is fellowship and study group for me...:thumbsup:

LC

[Sweet Pea]

no

[crossrunner]

I have a church I go and am very active in. CF is a great place to fellowship with Christians from all over the world and be a witness to those who are lost, but it is not my church home.

[HotRhymez]

I don't go to church..so this site is where I get all my questions answered. So yea this is like my church.

[RadicallyTransformedMom]

nope..definitely not my church..great for fellowship and freinds though..
karen

[HolyPlace]

I have a great chruch and youth group..but i like learning on here to.

[GodFlute2]

No, my church is KSCOGOP, this is only a place to hang for me.

[crusader4peace]

no, it can't be considered to be a church. i believe its a good place for all christians to get together and conduct bible studies. this would be the right place for enhancing christian unity.

[PretzelMonger]

No Pastor or anyone per se. I wouldn't call that a church.

[firestar]

No it's not my church, but it is a good chance to interact with other Christians in a diverse manner.

[PretzelMonger]

Wait...I just looked again ... what's a "cruch?" *giggle*

[Lindseysigns]

CF from what I see being a newbie is very good for fellowship and getting to know christian friends, but not to be a church.

[pumanator]

It's the only place I feel safe talking about the tougher issues in life. And it is teaching me that denomination doesn't have to mean division:groupray:

[rapsinger4]

i think it more as to get to know other christians.definately not a church.

[Amy47]

It's a place to fellowship...

[PlumTea]

Nope, not my church

[handmaiden97]

church...well it is the body of christ which is the church, but no. church we attend should be a place where we can go for both fellowship and teaching and really people should know us enought to hold us accountable to live what we talk....and online group cant do that really

[*Starlight*]

Since I don't go to a church, then my answer is yes :)

[Missy Baby]

No Christianforum.com isn't a Church for me, but a place where i can talk to other Christians from around the world and receive or give advices to.

[YellowSapphire]

Not a church. But I do think it would be accurate at this moment to say it's my link to the Chrsitian world. I'm affraid to tell my family of my conversion because of how they'll react.

[Christian_Babe234]

I see it more as a fellowship/study group.

[notanordinarygirl]

Nope. It's more of a fellowship thing for me! :)

[Elana]

No I go to First Baptist of Temple Terrace but I am enjoying these forums very much

[Pentecostal Boy]

Nopers...

[vrunca]

I don't see how it could possibly be in place of church!

[IrishGrace]

I go to a regular church, but most of the people I interact with at church are older (choir) or younger (babysitting) so this is a good place for me to be with people in my own age group.

[Miracle Storm]

I had to answer, I am unsure.
I do not see church as a building, but as the body of Christ. We who are saved through Christ are the church.
I guess I should have answered 'no' then.
Anyone that comes here that is saved is part of the body of Christ and therefore is part of the Church.
God bless and guide us all.:prayer:
~Miracle.

[krys4ever]

No, it shouldnt be considered as a church.

[Followers4christ]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group,but not a church.God Bless :)

[FluffyBadger]

:confused: another one of those polls I raise my brows at.

No. No. NO.

[jsimms615]

While it has been a great place for me, I don't think of this as a church at all. I think of it as a place of fellowship and sometimes learning.

[Godslilgurlalways]

I don't think it should be considered as church. This is a great place but can't compare to church though. It's more of a fellowship for me:)

[TCat]

No, this is a good place to study and fellowship but church is much more than a message board.

[vic74]

Between T.V. and CF yes it is.

[PixieSunbelle]

the church and church are two very different things....
the church is the body of believers...... and church is where u go on sunday mornings. both are needed.
cf is not church...... represents valuable parts of the church b/c all the believers are the church.
forums cannot replace going to church, but is a great place.

[Melanie91]

I see it as more of a fellowship/study group, but i said No, it does not and should not be considered a Church.
I think this should be an extra. You should attend a church as well as come on this website.
Church with a capital 'C' is everyone who accepts Jesus as our Saviour and believes that God raise him from the dead, but church with a lower case 'c' is an individual group of people who attend the services.

[lyonguard]

Only fellowship

[JeyJack]

I agree with lyonguard.. Only fellowship

[NostalgicGranny]

Completed the poll.

[alexier]

Yeah it has to be Fellowship for me because I believe as Christians we should experience a real unity which I think you can only get in a place of worship.
I CAN understand why people don't go to Church - I have been to Churches that are judgemental or Clicky but I think its still (for me anyway) important to Go to an altar and take Holy Communion.

[Karen1959]

I have a lot of friends here and it's a good place to come and pray and receive prayer!!! It's also fun to play the games in the BE thread and just to chat in the fellowship threads.
I love this site!!

[ysl_75]

i'm not sure

[DougLDS]

No way.

[KJmom]

While CF is a great place it cannot ever take the place of church.
Church is where we go to learn to serve and minister to and recieve ministering. It's where we learn to be in relationship to others in Christ. We cannot have a healthy relationship on an anonomus website.

[IntoTheCrimsonSky]

Basically it is my church. I'm not able to really socialize, and am at home 99% of the time with no real friends or anything..^_^...So this place gives me a connection with other Christians.

(I love church and would be there most of my time if it were possible, but it isn't so this place is what I see as a way God is helping me while I am restricted)

[suzybeezy]

I can understand where some are in situations where this is the only vehicle in which they can fellowship and learn about the Lord. I personally have my own church where I go for my spiritual nourishment, so I view this site as more a fellowship type place.

[HICKIE]

This website is indeed my only connection to other Christians aside from my mother and aunt. I posted this in my New Members introduction a couple of days ago, but I have been let down by churches. They seem more willing to run out after a sermon to watch the Sunday afternoon football games rather than speak with you. I feel as if church is so "scripted", if you know what I mean.

[JPPT1974]

It is more of a fellowship and just
Other Christians having Christ in common.
As well as loving Him! As Savior & Lord!

[Ephesians4]

It's part of the collective NT "Church" in as much as people are the church, not a building. However, to be a "church" in the current sense, I think there would need to be more sermons, teaching and exercising of spiritual gifts.

[DreamAngel]

I see Christian Forums as more of a study/discussion group, rather than a church. This is on the internet and not in a physical place...so it would seem kind of weird to me if this place was considered a church...and you can never be sure of people on the internet.

This website is indeed my only connection to other Christians aside from my mother and aunt. I posted this in my New Members introduction a couple of days ago, but I have been let down by churches. They seem more willing to run out after a sermon to watch the Sunday afternoon football games rather than speak with you. I feel as if church is so "scripted", if you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean. That is why I am in the church I am in now. 24/7 Christians.

Nope it isn't my Church, but a convenient place to come for fellowship at time's when it may not be possible in the real world...like at 1:30AM now :)

A church is really wherever Christians congregate to worship our Lord. It could even be a hill (mount).

I see it more as a fellowship, and a good one at that since we can communicate with our brothers and sisters in other denominations.
