CLUSTERING
A comment to a blog down below with the same heading as this one will get buried in the stack, and it's too important to me to let that happen, so I'm putting it up here.
After I read the Church of the United Brethren website regarding clustering, I understand why you're so upset about the idea. We here in the Chicago archdiocese have had clusters for years; each cluster consists of a number of individual parishes, and these clusters report to something called a deanery, which is supervised by an auxiliary bishop. So far, there has been little - if any - talk about merging clustered parishes into megaparishes as you describe in this blog entry; I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in the near future, however, if the attitude shown in the Church of the Bretheren infects our archdiocese.
