Religious fruitcake

Here's my recipe: take any catholic branch of the Church (Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Lutheranism?, etc.?), and start a parish with these properties:

• The members of the parish all live within a five mile radius.
• The parish only worships in the homes of its members.
• Worship is normally a so-called "deacon's mass."
• Worship is moderately traditional.
• The parish makes all decisions by consensus.
  
• Otherwise, it participates fully within its jurisdiction.

Voila! New Order Amish! Crazy enough that it just might work.

Variation: For New Order Gypsies, everyone should live in hot air balloons instead of within five miles of each other.

P.S. Thanks and props to the folks who came out to the Lloyd's today! Feed back to Chad Whitacre.
