Hi Jim,

please start a new thread for new questions, as your question may be 
invisible inside a thread not everyone is interested in.

I don't know a single extension which would handle all your aspects.
either you have a complete CMS specialized for these tasks or you can 
combine some extensions for each task and adaopt it to your usage.

IMHO TYPO3 is a good way to work these tasks.
some time ago the WEc (web empored church) featured some extensions to 
handle nearly the same tasks for churches in a similar hierarchical 
structure. but those extensions were developed for TYPO3 4.5. For usage 
with current versions they may need some care.

otherwise I think you can handle all with extensions ready for 6.2 (7.x 
may need some adaption up to LTS)

TYPO3 is build hierarchical so a given configuration at top will be 
inherited to all subpages/subbranches. so you will inherit your layout, 
styling and basic configuration.
with the appropiate roles (backendusergroups) defined you may restrict 
users to their branch where they are able to fill in the local 
information. For similar structures you may provide a prototype branch 
which gets copied for each subbranch. in the root of the subbranch you 
may define some TS constants and page-TS-config which 'localize' the 
used plugins to data only in this branch.
aside of the 'localized' plugins you can make use of all the data in 
global plugins accessing data recursive.

subtree searches are available with ext:indexed_search but other 
searches (solr) may be able also (I have no experience with solr)

calendar data can be easily stored hierarchical and accessed local and 
global. you may use cal, seminars or news in combination with 
(sys-)categories.
