Richard Golko, a very scholarly and passionate member of the Body of Christ presented the possibility of forming ecclesias around the country and even the world, as Paul did in the first century. Is this doable? Is it practical? Is it even desirable? This was a point of discussion at the Des Moines conference, and I discuss it here, in a rather sleepy manner from my hotel room in Des Moines, as I am struggling to gain full consciousness.
