More Anglican Church of Canada statistics

The Anglican Church of Canada published the following statistics for 2001:

acoc2001In 2007 the numbers looked like this:

acoc2007The “Members on Parish Rolls” number has little meaning since, for example, I am still counted as being a member of the Diocese of Niagara. The more meaningful number, “Confirmed on Parish Rolls” is missing for some dioceses for 2007 so 210,094 is low – probably not that low, though.

The diocese of Nova Scotia has seen a rather startling Average Sunday Attendance decline of 63% in 6 years and the number of Regular Givers in Quebec has declined by 66%.

The 2001 and 2007 numbers for some of the dioceses – Niagara, Fredericton, Calgary, BC [updated] and Saskatchewan – are suspiciously identical, so they are almost certainly inflated for 2007.

Note that the ANiC split occurred in 2008 so the post 2008 figures for the Anglican Church of Canada will be even bleaker.
