Mike Bishop is dreaming good dreams:

"The idea is this: What if a few people in the church were sent out to 'plant' a small missional community in one specific neighborhood in Chattanooga? They would sell their houses and move within walking distance of each other at the location of their choice. They would participate in some kind of corporate discipline together - praying the daily office, gathering for common meals, sharing work cleaning duties around their houses, etc. The community they develop would be intentionally open, focusing on sowing Kingdom seeds in the lives of their neighbors. But at the core of their mission would be their friendship - their unique love for one another born out of common love for Jesus and the commitment they have made to each other."

I don't know when, but we are going there one day too...
