Collective nouns: a noun that denotes a collection of persons or things regarded as a unit.
You get all the (un)usual ones: a wing of aircraft, a batch of bread, a vagary of impediments, a parliament of owls, a cog of robots, a blessing of unicorns…
But what about collective nouns for faith stuff?
A hallelujah of worship services? A roost of archdeacons? A meme of macs?
Other suggestions?
