I had heard one analogy to describe the ground of the church. In each city there is only one location that has the proper ground. (Among the Exclusive Brethren/aka Plymouth Brethren their description of the ground is "the one place")
The analogy is when you go to someone's home, there is only one address. You can't go to the neighbors home, because that's the wrong address. Likewise the practical expression of the church in each city has to be on the proper ground for God's habitation.
