What is church?

Coming up on a couple of my fellow bloggers’ pages is the question ‘Is this church?’ I watched Rob Bell’s ‘Everything is Spiritual’ DVD this morning. Here’s his definition of what church is (after 59 minutes of brilliance):

‘a group of people bonded together in their pursuit of God – obviously they are learning to see God in each other and God is powerfully present in their midst – but they are being given eyes to see the divine everywhere they go’

If he’s right, then all of the activities our blogging group is involved in would/could fall under this definition of church, as we meet and discuss 'Questions of Heaven' (loved the song, Sylvie) – even meeting in the Scooterworks bar for the ReSource weekend!
