ECUSA Average Sunday Attendance: Down as Expected

Well, at least as we expected.

Karen from Lent & Beyond sends along this chart showing the steady decline since 2000. From my thumbnail calculation, there was a 7.2% decline in average Sunday attendance in between 2001 and 2004.

Of course, these are the numbers that reporting parishes and dioceses choose to report to 815. I know there are some folks out there on both sides of this debate waiting to spin these numbers up and down, so have at it.
