The Church...

I'm reading Eugene Peterson's Practice Resurrection. ( http://www.eugenepetersononline.com/)  He offers a definition of church: 
Church is the appointed time and place of conversation between the two "beings"--the being of God and the human being.  Both 'beings" get equal time."
If we do not go to church, do we make the effort to appoint a time and place of conversation between ourselves and God?

If we do go to church, do we participate in the conversation or do we just show up and hope for the best?

Everything that God is and everything that we are intersects locally in the company of family and friends and the immediate circumstances of our lives.
You should stop reading me and start reading Peterson...or go to church.
