It's really wonderful seeing something that overcomes the walls of the congregations we meet in, but unfortunately in the local churches such a coming together of Christians within a city is termed as "shaking hands over the fence."
I recall back in the mid to late 90's there was something similar that ocurred in many US cities that brought Christian men together regardless of where they broke bread Sunday mornings. I'm sure many on this forum heard of Promise Keepers. In Seattle the event filled up the Kingdome (50,000+/-). However in the local church the Promise Keepers event was minimized if mentioned at all.
