I reviewed this map recently due to some talk on the HOBD listserv about the need to consolidate Dioceses, particularly a lot of the new Dioceses in Florida and Louisiana (meaning mine!)
It is interesting to see where the Episcopalians are, and maybe how certain large Dioceses have more reappraisers and reasserters and are therefore under-represented in the Houses of Bishops and Deputies in the Episcopal Church.
Hat tip to Louie Crew for assembling this map.

That's assuming 45,000 communicants to those in the 40-50,000 range, 35,000 to those in the 30-40,000 range, etc. For the five large dioceses over 50,000, I assumed 75,000 communicants.
Hm. Maybe I'll feed your numbers back to the source, see what happens!
