House Church Resource - Resources for House Churches and Organic Church Life - Serving the House Church Movement
"Since I left institutional Christianity twenty years ago, I have groped for language to communicate the kind of church experience I have lived in since that time. About fifteen years ago, I began using the term "organic church." Interesting, this word has recently become somewhat of a clay word, being molded and shaped to mean a variety of different things by a variety of different people. "
Church may be Forced to Close over Muslim Neighbour Singing Complaint - Christian Legal Centre
"A LONDON Church was effectively ‘silenced’ by a Court after a decision by Magistrates to uphold a noise abatement notice, not to play excessive sound, after just one Muslim neighbour complained about noise levels of worship in a church which was next door to the house he purchased.
Singing songs of praise on a Sunday is normal Church activity. Using amplification is a normal part of Church life and it was argued at the Court hearing that the normal use of a Church building entails worship and cannot constitute noise nuisance.
Immanuel House of Worship Church has been meeting in Walthamstow since it bought the premises in 2006. The Church was built in 1894 and was formerly used by the United Reformed Church, when the Church owned all the land on which the current properties are now built. "
What's Keeping Them? · The Free Believers Network Blog
I have learned that no matter how much I write and talk about the Free Believers Network and what it is, people will always see it as a bitter, "anti-church" movement. I am often reminded of Jesus' words to the people, "Why is my language not clear to you?" It seemed that no matter how much He explained something to the people, they just couldn't get it. They jumped to radical conclusions that had nothing to do with what He had spoken.
After years of explaining and re-explaining this message till I'm blue in the face, and after asking myself and God what's keeping them from getting this; I finally discovered what it was. I also found out why people immediately associate my words with heresy and accuse me of being "anti-church." It has to do with what they believe the ORIGIN of the institutional church is. They believe that the church we know today was created and ordained by God Himself.

The Americans know this will end in schism | Tom Wright - Times Online
In the slow-moving train crash of international Anglicanism, a decision taken in California has finally brought a large coach off the rails altogether. The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church (TEC) in the United States has voted decisively to allow in principle the appointment, to all orders of ministry, of persons in active same-sex relationships. This marks a clear break with the rest of the Anglican Communion.

The chart comes from Robert Webber's book, The Younger Evangelicals and does an excellent job of showing some of the differences between the moderns (traditional and pragmatic evangelicals) and the postmodern (the younger evangelicals)
