Sounds like a commune
Sunday April 13th, Acts 2: 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. This is a little part of the Acts text that has not found favor with the free market group. I dare say it is a market strategy that would not work on a very large scale. Not because it is a bad strategy, but because humanity tends to be not quite mature enough to handle this kind of calling from God. It is however something toward which to strive. To view our worship communities as a place to share and care for one another, to work toward economic equality and justice, these are the lofty goals of a loving and caring community in Christ. It is the vision to put before one another, recognizing the distance between ideal and reality, but always turning toward the ideal in our journey.
