"Groups" are what Yahoo calls email lists, and one of them is -- you guessed it -- congregational development
The official Yahoo description says "The Congregational Development e-list is available for leaders of parishes and dioceses, of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, to explore congregational development. This is a place to ask for and offer help; seek and provide resources; explore, wonder about and discover issues in congregational development. The list is sponsored by CDI Trainers." (CDI Trainers are the people who do the condev training in Deer Isle in the summer, and get good reports. Bob Gallagher, their head, is one of the godfathers/mothers of the current generation of condev consultants.) I've been a member of this Yahoo group for a while, and find it mostly useful without being another fill-my-inbox list. It's a great place to ask questions and get back some thoughtful responses from folks who've "been there." Try it. If you don't like it, it's easy to unsubscribe. And yes, it's free.
