[Forget the ECUSA stats (unless you're interested); the telling stats are of the Anglican Communion. There's many a surmise that the ECUSA figure is inflated due to unrecorded departures, but even were it not so, is it not telling that Uganda alone has more than three times as many Anglicans than the U.S. has Episcopalians, and Nigeria more than six times, Kenya more than the U.S, and even Australia half again as many? Granted, one can read too much into numbers, but this PDF makes it clear: the churches provoking the current controversy are but a very small part of world-wide Anglicanism. --sionnsar]

"...is it not telling that Uganda alone has more than three times as many Anglicans than the U.S. has Episcopalians, and Nigeria more than six times..."
It's not the quantity, but the quality that matters. As one scoundrel [V. Lenin] liked to say, "better fewer, but better".
