Great online groups<\/a> come in all sizes and serve all kinds of purposes. But there’s something to be said for the wisdom of crowds–some of our most exciting, vibrant communities have hundreds of members, with dozens more joining each week. At Spiritual Walking<\/a>, they’re supporting each other toward total fitness. Same for Kick in the Tush<\/a>. At Dream Discussions<\/a>, they’re interpreting nighttime visions and exploring spirituality.
\nDo you have an idea for a group? Think yours could take off? Try it out this month<\/a> during Beliefnet’s New Group Contest. Start a group after April 17, and we’ll watch for a month. The new group with the most members by May 17 will be featured on Beliefnet’s homepage. Plus, the group leader will get a victory ribbon to add to their profile picture.
\nStart your group<\/a>, invite your friends, tell everyone you know, and win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
