via one of my follows, LibertyGal (idk why client is not finding this) there is a nice documentary The Essential Church about the fight of several christian churches across california and a few other places who refused to stop holding services, and i found it very interesting their point - about how we are compelled to gather in a church, and how it is good for us

i think i can easily see a dozen different ways that this gathering has a benefit for the interests of a common group in general and since i identify with teh idea of adhering to goodness, it makes it easier for people with weaker hearts to stay stronger, and for those who are tired of monastic struggle to feel some solidarity
