There are times in the Christian Church and Fellowship experience when a "healthy split" may be needed. Usually this is because of growth, that means more and more people are attending, certain things become difficult and unmanageable, simply because of numerical growth. It can be that a planned and negotiated "split" (a new Church or Fellowship plant is normal) can really be a healthy thing to do.
