i am left curious about the specifics of a couple of details, but i a sure that they are in the works.

how will the network be maintained? will it be voluntary, like a collection of small groups?

where will the supporting resources come from for the pastoral need? and also for the public meeting space (once you reach 50+ you are outside of the structural capacities for the avg. home)? how great will the need be?

beyond multiplication what will be unique about the network that will give it a means to overcome any of the organization challenges that a traditional model faces?

last question (maybe this answer won’t be published online): what won’t be a part of this model that is a part of the traditional model?

*** i will keep chewing on this ***
