Missing Country-by-Country Church Data

For many years, I have made numerous requests for the Church Newsroom website staff to publish country-by-country membership and congregational data for all countries with a non-sensitive Church presence. My requests continue to be ignored or redirected without follow through despite my persistent efforts. Moreover, I have credible information that the Statistical Department indeed releases this data to the Newsroom site, but that the site does not publish it for an unknown reason. Here are a list of countries that have been consistently not reported on the website that do not have a sensitive Church presence (i.e. congregational information is published on lds.org/maps):
  • Bahrain
  • Bermuda
  • British Virgin Islands
  • Cuba
  • Egypt
  • Gabon
  • Guinea
  • Kosovo
  • Kuwait
  • Lebanon
  • Mali
  • Morocco
  • North Macedonia (FYROM)
  • Oman
  • Qatar
  • Senegal
  • Turks and Caicos Islands
  • Vietnam
I think that if additional requests are made, the Newsroom site would provide data for these countries as they would see a greater public interest in these data. Please complete the following feedback from the Newsroom site to assist my efforts to provide the public access to this information.
