Across the country, small groups of Christians are attempting to model their lives off of those early Christians from the book of Acts who tried to live a simple life of obedient faith in community with other Christians.
For example, you may read...

Any movement on creating or continuing an emergent church in Ann Arbor? I just moved here and am interested in being a part of a community or at least a dialogue about this. Thanks!
Not directly in Ann Arbor, no - our cohort is still in its early stages and on the grow.
We are currently meeting at various place around the metro area for conversations.
Next "conversation" Jan. 31 - see new post for details.
One good church in your area - though a bit "mega" - is the Vineyard Church. The pastor over there is a good guy.
