Community of Kindness

I just finished reading "Community of Kindness" by Sjogren and Lewin. This was a book that every church planter or future planter should read. Although I didn't agree with everything in the book, I did find that they had a lot of great things to say and some very practical things to do.
This was one of those books that listed about 100 lessons learned throughout the years of planting, again some I agreed with, some not so much. For instance, I'm not sure about the falling away of what they call "Scaffling people" who are there usually just to help start the church and they are not part of the perminant structure. I think this maybe the situation in some cases, but not all, and I have seen in my own experience where people who help at first begin to fade into the background as the church grows more and more, more times than not because of their leadership potiental only takes them so far. On the other hand there were some great thoughts, for instance on churches less than 200 (after opporating a number of years) should really consider closing down and starting over after a period of time to regroup and rethink it's purpose and mission. The author states this because of the tremendous pressure on the pastor of the 200 person church and his struggles to carry all the load (he calls them "Plate spinners") trying to please everyone and doing all the ministry. I was already thinking along these lines of "how would you go about replanting a church?" OR maybe the better question is "how would one go about grafting in to another church or church plant?" The author talks about the importance of when its time to restart/replant or whatever you want to call it, that you don't start with the same core people that used to run the old church, but you start fresh with new vision with new leaders. Cause when you replant an actual physical plant itself, you give it fresh new surroundings and a new environment.
I was reminded of a book called "Natural Church Development" some of you might have read it, and in it the author talks about the death of a church and that this should be a healthy process in that the church was a healthy church at one time, going through the reproduction stages and producing healthy disciples in Chirst and those sort of things....so why not? Why do we not see this more often. I really only know of one church that did this and that is Matt Chandler's church "The Village" in TX, and once they did, God showed up in some HUGE ways. Now they are reaching thousands for Christ in that area. I guess you have to lose some to gain some (or should I say many more). What do you think??
