[Anglican Mianstream] 24 Sep 2007--Newspaper reports of the crisis in the Anglican Communion regularly state that it has 77 million members. It should be remembered that of these 26 million are counted from the Church of England. There would be few who would claim that the Church of England has 26 million adherents. The Church’s own statistics put it in region of 2 million. Read hereWould it therefore not be more accurate to report the Anglican Communion as having 53 million members?
