Well it came up in IRC and, as an advocate of juggling the class fun level, I thought it might be a nice idea to post some thoughts on this.
QuoteConsecrate area - A cleric may lay claim to a piece of land (large area) once each day. This ground grants all enemies a -1AB, -1 saves (Will save, DC 10+cleric level+ Wisdom mod) The Cleric may use this ability once per day for every 5 levels. Duration lasts until rest.
QuoteAura of power - Allies within short range of the Clerics preaching will receive a bonus to their fortitude and will saving throws. Should their alignment not be opposed to the clerics, they will receive a +1 damage bonus of either negative or positive damage. Allies of the same deity will receive damage and elemental reduction of 1/- within the same area. This ability may be used once / 3 levels / rest with a duration of turn / level. This bonus does not effect the Cleric himself
.
QuoteGreater Consecration - Upon reaching 8th level, the cleric may empower this ability. It now grants all allies of a non-opposed alignment (lawful to chaotic, evil to good) a bonus +1 AB and +1 damage.
Random quick ideas that I'm not sure are even possible, but I think the idea of Consecration is pretty cool and might be something to add in the future for this class.
Think I'd rather just play a bard.
GFX Miracles.
Seriously.
As someone who played a cleric with a difficult dogma to pull forth on display I think it would be stellar to be able to call down the "Magic rings" like from the Protection from Alignment spells, beams of light, and more for GFX to add drama and flair to preachings, and a "God's presence".
Maybe the more devout and how often a priest works, the bigger, cooler, and more badass GFX animations he call pull down without DM presence.
As cool as it sounds, do we need STRONGER clerics?
I fully support the idea of giving clerics Prayer 3/day that lasts for 10 times the usual duration. I'm sure Johannes will implement this when he finishes scripting the bazookas for druids.
On a more sensible note, something like the Hallow/Unhallow spells would be cool, as a ritual that could be done IG with DM supervision. I would pursue that line of thinking and find a DM to run you a ritual if you really want to make a place holy or hellish.

If you ask VP, then yes.
NO THANKS but i do think a cool system for this EFUSS skill like alchemy/herbalism would be neat
Clerics do need a little buffing IMO, and this seems a stylistic approach. I support!
I dont even know how regular consecration works.
It doesnt
