Taiwan LCs have many meeting halls. The LC in my city meets concurrently in 4-5 different locations every Sunday. The point wasn't everyone gather under the same roof but that all Christian congregations recognise themselves as the church in that locality rather than identifying themselves along denominational lines. Lee's implementation is a mutated version of this ideal.
