Why would this be? Is it because Jesus tell us to have fellowship with other believers? I can understand why we would need this fellowship, but what steered it into the direction of listening to a pastor at a pulpit? In my opinion, that form of leadership was the cause of a power hungry Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Why can our Christian fellowship be more in the format of a discussion instead of a man at a pulpit? I suppose that maybe there should be a leader to give some sort of presentation, but with the way the Church is set up, there is no way of making sure what was said sticks. Church should be a presentation from a pastor and then a guided discussion of the material. Idk... it was just an idea that popped up in my head just now.

It's not that it's manditory, but necessary. Once you've had living water, you get thirsty. Church is just a place where I can get a drink.
