as far as clients, you might look at Mulberry Mail 
(http://www.mulberrymail.com/) - has what's reported to be one of the better 
clients supporting CalDAV:

I have used Mulberry Mail for a while AND have started using Zimbra (which 
supports CalDAV with its calendar feature).

which leads me into: have you considered the free version of Zimbra 5.0 as 
the basis/core of your setup?  While it is more than a calendar server, for 
me at least, it has been almost maint free and just seems to work.  the 
admin GUI is very nice.

the free version supports all the main features save those more suited for 
corporate/enterptise clients (like Outlook/MAPI integration, archiving, 
mobile device sync, etc).  I installed the RHEL5 version on CentOS 5.2 and 
have had no noticeable problems.

the other thing I really like about Zimbra 5 over earlier versions is they 
dropped tomcat for Jetty and it, combined with its Ajax GUI features, has 
the best Web mail/calendar client I have come across.  Blows Outlook Web 
Access (OWA) out of the water.

FWIW

   I am wanting to set up a calendar for our Church (
http://oursaviorlcms.org/ ).   So I am looking for some comments on the
best way to go about this.

Criteria:
   15 to 50 users.
   Users can share calendars.
   Has a number of group calendars
   Two of the groups calendars can be exported to different web sites.
   Items on a personal calendar can be marked to show up on one or more
of the group calendars.
   Accessed from any platform.
   Can be accessed from outside the Church network.
   Database is stored on a network server.
   Uses a standard base that, in time, we will not have to migrate to
something else.

Current thoughts:

   Right now it looks like the way to go is with DEViCal (
http://wiki.davical.org/w/Main_Page ), which is the server and creates a
iCal file.  This is accessed by a number of different clients (
http://wiki.davical.org/w/CalDAV_Clients )
