In the early days of Church it was a common
practice for Church to meet and sit together at homes in small congregations, where they would
eat and converse as it is stated in Acts 2:46
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.” which in
modern times has changed to reserve attitudes and the congregations only
meet at some special or reserved occasions. Another thing which has changed is
the usage of wealth which was for the wellbeing of poor and needy as said in 2
Corinthians 9:7...
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your
heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver."
The practice no more exists in its true meanings.
