Church and mission 10/26-The bigger things get..

In looking at the preConstantinian church it seems to me that the bigger things get the more structured and hierarchical they become. I do not see any way around it. Some may champion a smaller church but if you do smaller church good then inevitably it will grow. This is what happened to the early church. The smaller church grew and morphed into more structured forms. So what is the way forward from here? Do we advocate for smaller church? Maybe we need to advocate for a church that is more faithful to Jesus. That way no matter how big or structured ijavascript:void(0)t gets there is always a center to come back to.
