Dear Church, with the new CDC guidelines, there is absolutely a way to do church online/by extension in a way that not only glorifies God but allows people to remain in community in a way that is theologically healthy. #Onlinechurch #churchonline #ChurchAtHome @ZonderAcademic 
The earliest Christians didn't always get to meet together; they had their own trials preventing the routine we have today. This is why Ignatius of Antioch notes that the church is where the shepherd is. Polycarp reminded his church that we are aliens who transcend our places.
Likewise, the challenges of Irenaeus' day caused him to describe the church as solely a calling of the Holy Spirit, not building/location. Tertullian and Origen both emphasize that the church happens when the people of God gather to worship, a few here and there is still church.
