I saw this on CurrentTV this morning. Circle of Hope church has been around since '96 and looks pretty unique. It's also in Philly. The pastor interviewed said that they go into deserted parts of the city to set up churches in an effort to resurrect the dead areas of the community. He believes this reflects Jesus because he "raised the dead."
I think my favorite part is the incredibly large "human chain" toward the end of the video. (I wonder what the Guinness record is for the "human chain"?)

Looks pretty cool. I think I might go check it out this Sunday night after my normal church. Current TV is an awesome channel.
Sounds good. Let me know how it goes.
Yes! *Also* let me know how it goes.
... and now I've finally watched (most of) the video. I feel squeamish when I hear 'community' used as the new church buzz word. Obviously I want those people to feel connected to each other and lifted out of their previous social associations and responsibilities relative to their growth in/with Jesus and the church. I'm not knocking that. Maybe I just have a case of Distrusting-the-Institutionalized-Churchitis. I would love to talk about it at the man gathering, provided I can make it (spoiler: I probably can't).
