- "New church development, including the creation of new congregations out of older ones, continues to be a key to a denominational renewal and vitality. Given his broad and extensive experience with congregational development, Compton is supremely able to teach us about such renewal. The renewal he writes about, however, is not just in membership growth. Rather, it is a renewal of both spirit and practice that new congregations and transformed older ones bring to the larger church. As they introduce and carry out new ideas and practices, these new and renewed congregations perform, as Compton notes, an important research and development task for the church". -- Foreword, p. viii.
