This might sound a bit radical but I have often thought that the gathering for worship in a district could be once a month with the day to day work of being Christ to the world concentrated in homes and the marketplace.

I'm sure it sounds good to you, but I don't pretend to force my idea of worship on Him.

In reading Revelation, I don't see worship taking place on a marketplace or homes.

What part of life is not worship ?

Again, in reading Revelation, I don't see worship in the marketplace or home.

If you want to blur the definition of worship to include being and living a Christian life, you can easily lose the necessity/importance of Heavenly worship (The Book of Revelation).

I am stunned by your response - my life daily is a continuing communion with
Him as one being offered as a living sacrifice of worship to Him. How can one not worship, being surrounded by the evidence of Him in creation ?

Is Church not simply where Christ is? and did He not say He is present whenever 2 or 3 are gathered in His name? Ekklesia is nothing more than those who gather, and Roman Catholics saying "I am of Peter" is a call to disunity, even if they soften the charge by saying that there is an ersatz Christ that isn't the full measure outside of what they call the "church".
