[Religious Intelligence] 23 Feb 2009--The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) has eclipsed the Church in Wales, the Scottish Episcopal Church and 10 other provinces in the number of active members, statistics released this week by the ACNA report.

The average Sunday attendance (ASA) for the ACNA’s 693 congregations is 81,311, with an estimated membership in excess of 100,000, the report finds. By way of comparison, the Church in Wales, whose Archbishop Dr Barry Morgan has vowed to fight recognition of the ACNA with “every fibre” of his being, has a total membership of 70,353 and the Scottish Episcopal Church 53,553.
