Hemidakota Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 EXCERPT: The data show that over a 10-year period beginning in 1997, the church grew by 19 percent in the U.S. and Canada, adding roughly 77,500 members. At the same time, some 2.1 million people joined the church outside North America, an increase of 43 percent. Membership rose by 142 percent in Africa and by 50 percent in Asia. The growth rate in Europe was the slowest at 17 percentARTICLE LINK: The Elizabethton Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreparednessPro Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is great! I enjoy seeing things like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWyvern Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 This is neat, but I've always wondered whether the rate of increase is increasing or decreasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rameumptom Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 The rate is a difficult thing. We really cannot say how many are active/inactive, for example. Worse, we can't say who is attending another church, etc. What I would like to know is the growth in Central and South America. Hemi, do you have those numbers?
