There may be other better words, but I can't think of any right now. I will keep thinking. If they have assembled for the purpose of worship, it's a congregation. You could also say an assembly, but an assembly is not specifically for worship. Hmmmmm, there must be other words for this.

	moijelesuis  +  6987 Thu, 04 Sep 03 03:47 PM a very interesting interesting topic... i have heard "flock" as a biblical reference to sheep (followers of jesus). for catholics, one speaks collectively of the "parishoners". the "faithful" (one "L") is another very general term. it depends on how big the collectivity is... for other religions, i look forward to reading! moijelesuis Joined on Sat, Aug 16 2003 usa/canada Full Member 116 Nouns
