Dear Sister. I really should not be arguing with you on this but comparing two different faiths is always like comparing apples and oranges. You say that I compared the Anglican Church with the worldwide Muslim population. The reason is simple. The orthodox Muslims or the Ahl al Sunna constitute 90% of the entire Muslim population. We don't have different churches and we don't have different denominations with their own flock. So, we all belong to the Church of Allah. Hence the comparison. Secondly which Church is it that represents the entire Christian population of the world? Another interesting thing in your post is your claim that certain denominations are seeing "huge increases" including huge number of youth. Would love to know which Churches those are. Otherwise most well known Churches are in decline. I already put up an article from a Catholic website about the RC church. Here are some links to details about some other churches: Decline of the Baptists: http://chronicle.augusta.com/news/me...numbers?page=4 Decline of the Episcopalians: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/dojustice/j325.html Decline of the Methodists: http://www.umc.org/site/apps/nlnet/c...393&ct=8535221 Decline of the Swiss Protestants: http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss_ne...l?cid=28258772 And finally a general survey: http://www.ewtn.com/library/CHISTORY/usrelpan.HTM
