This would probably an appropriate time to mention some further statistics on some handouts I’ve given to you this evening. These tables were compiled by Brother Mac Lynn, and the publication is called The Churches of Christ in the United States. By the way, it also includes Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and maybe a couple of other places. This information was actually published in the year 2000. We’re talking about statistics, the growth of the church in the 20th Century, and so this particular handout which shows Congregations by Size… I think it’s interesting that it shows… It may need a little bit of explanation as it may be a little bit confusing. Maybe not to you, but it’s confusing to me. [The “Congregations by Size” Table is shown below, and some explanation follows:]
