Abstract: For a function algebra

we investigate relations between the following three topics: isomorphisms of singly generated

-modules, Morita equivalence bimodules, and ``real harmonic functions'' with respect to

. We also consider certain groups which are naturally associated with a uniform algebra

. We illustrate the notions considered with several examples.
