    The Organization of Local Churches

    By Watchman Nee
    0
    ACT 6:2PHP 1:1

    Watchman Nee discusses the organization of local churches, emphasizing the distinction between the roles of ministers, elders, and deacons. He argues that modern concepts of church organization, which prioritize a minister, a building, and formal services, diverge from the early church's practices where local elders governed and believers met in homes. Nee highlights that the church is not defined by its physical structure but by the community of believers, and that true church meetings involve mutual participation rather than passive attendance. He stresses the importance of local governance by elders and the need for believers to actively engage in their spiritual growth and responsibilities. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the principles of mutuality and shared responsibility in church life.
