Churches without an umbilical chord usually lack a uterus (A hollow muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity where...the fertilized egg implants and develops. Also called womb). The practice of starting churches today in America closely resembles franchising (corporate American business model) more than birthing (biblical model) a living, breathing organism. It's more organizational than organic. This current practice is so sterile and unlike the biblical process of establishing new churches (Acts 13) it's kind of like getting pregnant without intercourse. Church in America today more-often-then not the result of artificial insemination rather than the offspring of divine romance or real worship (Acts 13:1-4). Can churches be planted this way? Yes, of course. But is it God's ideal for church reproduction --far from it.
