It is with cheerfulness that we dismiss our
twelves, our twenties, our fifties to form
other churches. We encourage our
members to leave us to found other
churches; nay, we seek to persuade
them to do it. We ask them to scatter
throughout the land, to become the goodly
seed which God shall bless. I believe that
so long as we do this, we shall prosper.
C H Spurgeon
