Mmmm...I'd like to proceed cautiously. I've never encountered such an
organization--even the best--that didn't have some difficult politics
associated with it. That said, there are also advantages to
formality.
I am unlikely to become politically active in such an organization
(nolo episcopari!) I do think it's worth pursuing. I think, if we
decide to pursue it, we might consider formalizing a level of openness
in the organizations rules.
