Most religions are very traditional, with specific rites and rituals. Having a time to prepare spells is generally most appropriate.However, I see where you're coming from. If you have Complete Divine, I'd take a look at the Spirit Shaman's spell method. They are spontaneous casters, but they have the whole druid list available as spells known. They only have a small part available at a time however, selecting their available spells each day. It's a good mix between the two methods IMO, though it's a shame not being able to spontaneously apply metamagic. Requiring some measure of wisdom/guesswork, but being able to spontaneously cast some available spells is pretty good.  Have you seen the Favoured Soul class? It's also in Complete Divine. It seems to be close to what you're after, although spell progression is delayed by a level (same as the sorcerer). They don't get domains though, choosing (approved by the DM) spells as they go.Your system is interesting, although I don't think you should allow the cleric to increase their spells known twice as a result of their Wisdom score.</blockquote>
