My church is a Cell Church and we have been growing by home fellowship
groups for about one year.  The concept Brother Wright has is different
from the cell church structure in many ways, but using the homes to meet
in is similarly employed.  

A true Cell Church is a radical departure from the traditional church
concept.  The Catholic Church has polluted the way God intended a church
to funtion, expecially with the Nicolaitan doctrine of a
ministry/priesthood functioning seperately from the
Laity/memeber/saint.  A true Cell Church does not function with a
ministry seprerate from a saint, but has all members of the body as
ministers.  No one is "just a saint" because all are seen as ministers
with God given gifts to minister to others with.

Nuff said
