Building and planting

Keith Brenton has noticed something about the language Christians use to describe building the church:
I'm a little uncomfortable with the term "church planting."

I understand that it's trying to describe something more organic than building and filling church facilities; something that communicates growth and change, and that the alternative term "church-building" would have attached to it all of the baggage of "church buildings." But "church planting" isn't really a scriptural term.
True. I recommend Keith's whole article.
