Watch the namecalling. I know religious threads get out of hand easy, but be civil about it (which I doubt is possible around here)

If you read the difference in what "church" is, then it is necessary. Even Jesus was in community with other believers -- that is what "church" is. Ekklesia is not meeting at some huge, ornate building on a specific day of the week. Ekklesia is being in a community with other believers. Ekklesia is growing, sharing, learning, helping, and loving those around you. THAT is what is necessary. THAT is what "church" is. The real "church" is necessary, not some building, parking lot, preacher/pastor/minister/priest, band with instruments, and some offering plates.
That's the difference between understanding what was meant by Church and what it has been made into.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer has some quality writings on the issue.
