Building community and gathering is essential area of Christian faith development. Although we have forgotten the reason plus the nature as to why.
It was to examine why and how the impact of local beliefs systems where affecting the values of the new developing faith. There appeared worries about the corruption of Christian behaviour. It was decided that gathering to study the word frequently was a way of putting checks onto everyday workings among the faith community.
When some elders and it was mainly male led, became more concerned as faith community got cloaked with Roman powers, plus Authority of those times. It became a excerise for some to retreat and hermit into caves. Committing Thier lives to prayer further deep study of the word of the Lord. These practices are part of our faith journey the sojourner we often engage in. The roots of these disciplines which l along with others favour nower days are rooted in ways of remaining steadfast to following Jesus.
It's not easy living the faith journey.
