I enjoyed the responses to this post I made on Facebook:
-----------------
Let's have a collective noun contest. One of my old favorites is the famous "congress of baboons*". I've always felt marginalized by the term "a sprinkling of Methodists". I suggest "a casserole of Methodists" as more appropriate.
Jackson Williamson
For some reason, a "flock" of environmentalists sounds appropriate.
