Idiotic.

The church is the household of God, if you have a large family, which all Christians do, then you have family members you will see rarely, perhaps once a year. Maybe only at weddings and funerals.

The church is the kingdom, in a kingdom you cannot possibly get to know everyone nor spend time with everyone, yet you can still benefit from meeting with them, hearing from them, and being encouraged that they also are one with the King.

Sounds like the writer of this article needs to read WL's discourse on the frog in the well.
