I really like the organic nature to the process. Not as in, Organic capital O- but just... in motion, fluid, changeable.

voluntold :P That&#039;s my new favorite word.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Louis,

Sure, for a congregation-as-a-whole, there need to be some bylaws.  No argument there.

But, yeah, I think we could probably generalize this.  I think this would work for all sorts of groups.  

Kinsi,

The group has far exceeded my expectations, to be sure.  Though, now, I won&#039;t be surprised if there&#039;s a third covenant group by the time summer comes around.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A think a huge step for our group was when we went from having the one chalice circle/covenant group/small group/coven/whateverthenamewasthatweek to having two - a covenant group and an affinity group.  I think the ability to sustain two groups like that is something noteworthy.

I would add wtih number 11, offshoot of number 11 - be prepared to change your ideas.  People will come with their own ideas, and the group will eventually take on a life of its own - it will wonder from whatever the creater had orginally wanted, and thats a good thing.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A-fucking-men, Chutnage.

But it does take a strong framework up front and an established presence.  My mind flashes to the problems I had as a young adult at the Birmingham church.  There are probably lots of UUs in say, Mississippi or Arkansas, who don&#039;t have the sort of community network they so badly crave.

My hope is that what we&#039;re doing at UUCA will serve as a sort of example by which other churches can learn from and compliment.]]></description>
