the virtual sol cafe: What is a church?

[updated March 2]

For those of you who have visited before, you might notice I have made a bit of a change to this entry in the interest of open discussion. By no means do I mean to be secretive, simply sensitive to the open and often random nature of the world wide web. And I think the discussion is important, both here and as continued live at the sol cafe.

The sol cafe recently welcomed a guest speaker, and friend, who presented on the topic of "What is a church?" He took us to the Book of Acts, chapter 2, and among his food for thought, shared a definition of a church as a group of followers of Christ gathering to fulfill the following five purposes: worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism.
