Letter to the editor: Anglicans can't count

Notes: Writer questions church membership statistics quoted by Gary Nicolosi. Gary Nicolosi responds: "The membership of the U.S. Episcopal Church has decreased from 3.5 million (1965) to 2.2 million (2008) so the percentage decrease would be about 38 percent, not 55 per cent as we reported. In regard to the Canadian church figures, a 2005 report presented to the House of Bishops (Anglican Journal, Dec. 2005, p. 13; and The Living Church, Jan. 15, 2005, p. 12) indicated that the enrollment losses for the Anglican Church of Canada were 53 per cent in 2005; this figure is probably closer to 57 per cent today".
