You were right about the record convert baptisms. Technically with positive growth we should be seeing record numbers on that dimension every year, but that’s still a positive sign. What is the growth rate compared to total membership and how does that compare to prior years?
I'd like to see a fourth category of missionary numbers. There are three categories listed in the report but I don't know where Senior Missionaries (living away from home) are counted. Senior Service Missionaries live at home and typically serve from home. Service Missionaries are young folks who live at home and typically serve in their local areas. Teaching Missionaries are young folks who are called to go all over the world. Most Senior Missionaries don't teach.

ReplyDeleteOut of the 17,887,212 members I wonder how many are active?
