How many in the Anglican Communion? Ruth Gledhill does some counting

{Anglican Mainstream] 6 Oct 2007--The Common Cause Partnership , whose leaders claim to represent 600 congregations and 100,000 people, will meet in December to plan how to create the 39th province of the 77 million member Anglican Communion.

Whenever that 77 million figure is quoted, it is worth recalling that 25 million of those are English Anglicans, the number of baptised. The churchgoing figures tell a different story. Fewer than a million go each Sunday. This puts the Anglican Communion closer to 52 million. The Episcopal Church itself is facing its own issues of falling clergy numbers, unviable parishes and costly litigation aimed at preventing the fleeing conservatives from taking their properties with them. The latest parish to defect into the care of the province of Uganda is one of Georgia’s oldest churches, Christ Church in Savannah, established 50 years before The Episcopal Church, in 1733, and the church where Methodism’s founder, John Wesley, was rector. The irony of this is not lost on commentators. While the Episcopal Church claims 2.4 million members, an analysis of the figures by conservative blogger David Virtue has established that fewer than 800,000 attend weekly services. Virtue claims that as many as 700 “orthodox Episcopalians” are leaving every week. Virtue has based his figures on graphs of attendance and figures on the Church’s own website. But even if the true figure is not that high, it nontheless seems that the church is haemorrhaging.
