Suburb

1. It seems that this new system of efficienty could not last because it was built upon a community that was still somewhat tightknit, with its members holding similar beliefs and partaking in similar activities. However, as these things changed and the suburb grew and the importance of the individual and self-reliance increased, the lack of authority which characterized the leadership meant that it was inevitable that it would run into problems as difference of opinion with no singular means of enforcement became the order of the day.
2. Economically, the activities of the church-goers, in all of their various clubs and events, even in the building of the church itself, were probably efficient in that not only were they run most likely on volunteer work, the jobs were also being done by those with a vested interest in the matters at hand, meaning that they were probably working hard at what was being done, all the while establishing good relationships with their fellow church members.
