FCA and the numbers game
July 10, 2009
“The FCA claims that it has around 1,600 followers from 320 parishes around the country”
Church Times 10th July 2009, p3
That makes about 5 in each church… If some churches are filled with say 40 or 50 supporters, then that means there are an awful lot of the 320 churches with one (maybe a rabidly enthusiastic Curate). Not exactly a sweeping movement.
However, as one Archbishop once remarked:
“The Church of England is like a swimming pool – all the noise happens at the shallow end”
