Whether on Maui, Toronto, or Renton it's a preference towards a specific Christian publishers publications for fellowship. It's essentially a "closed" assembly/assemblies. Not open to fellowship apart from their preference. That's what makes this system sectarian.

I believe in Paul's day if anyone came along and started a house assembly for Jews only or Gentiles only right next door to his planted house assembly, he would condemn it as being sectarian and divisive. Today churches are planted for far less trivial reasons than being Jewish or Gentile.
