[VirtueOnline] 27 Feb 2009--A new North American Anglican province in waiting shows remarkable strength even before it makes its official debut in June, according to figures leaders revealed by its leaders.

According to a report released by the Diocese of Pittsburgh, some 81,311 people worship at the 693 congregations of the Anglican Church in North America each Sunday. These parishioners and parishes are outside of The Episcopal Church and The Anglican Church in Canada. The vast majority are temporarily under the ecclesiastical oversight of six separate orthodox Anglican provinces.
