aria, Thanks for the explanation. I did know about the clusters idea. I 
was confused by the Sunday morning nomenclature, thinking (or NOT 
thinking very clearly!) that it referred to the time of the meeting.

It seems to me there is a good rationale for us being included with this 
group, as well as the Social Justice one. And I think our involvement 
need not obviate our participating in  other projects, such as a 
workshop, outreach to other churches in the area, or affiliation with 
national groups like N.O.D. and EQUUAL ACCESS.
