Check it out. Average Sunday attendance in the diocese was 18,698 in 1997 and was 15,933 in 2007; active baptized members were 54,331 in 1997 and were 51,787 in 2007.

Plate & Pledge increased about 12 percent from 2002 though 2007 which was about 4 percent short of inflation. Not too bad, until you realize that Personal Income per Capita in New Jersey was the second HIGHEST in the USA. Statmann
How does one lose approximately the same ASA and active membership and not raise any warning flags?
The link appears to have been broken.

When you know that you are right, you know all is well. The people who have left just were not able to get with TEC inclusiveness. This is the story and they are sticking to it.
’97-’07 shows decline consistent with TEC as a whole, and maybe a little less. I’d be interested in seeing stats back to 1970, which would give us a broader picture of the diocese.
