Please sight a source for the statement "The term cell group is derived from biology:" Daveswiki 15:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Why is the discussion limited to churches that use this structure? Many kinds of groups are organized into cells.

(And the term "cell" in biology is derived from the organization of monasteries--the first guy to look at a plant under a microscope noted the similarity to the floorplan of a monastery, and the layout of the monks' cells (rooms).) 128.194.22.23 18:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

That is because that is what "cell group" most often refers to. And perhaps he didn't make it clear, but please cite the source. Ariedartin JECJY ^Talk 13:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Since a large portion of documentation about cell groups isn't online, probably reason for issue locating a source. One place I was able to find and have updated article appropriately. There is a growing difference with cell groups within the Catholic church, as the entire program may get Vactican approval before the end of the year. Aafm 05:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

On the idea of the Connect Group article being merged into this article I suggest it doesn't but still maintains links. Connect Groups are different in their focus, flavour and style to Cell Groups. Connect Groups are strongly evangelistic and relationship oriented where Cell Groups generally focus more on the study and prayer areas. Also, Connect Groups are geared to be a mix of believers and unbelievers where Cell Groups are filled with believers due to their orientation. Of course each Cell is different and each church's idea of Cells is different too. I'm speaking more of generalities here. Darren (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
