  If your church keeps hemorrhaging, it will be -- for all practical purposes -- extinct in a decade. Less than one percent of the US population belongs to it, the Protestant Episcopal Church. And your ecclesial counterpart in UK -- the Anglican Church -- has shrunk from 17% of the population (identifying as Anglican) to 15% just this month. Nothing great about that, making an ideal out of loss -- unless you have trained your imagination in fantasy to see past reality. 
  
  Finally, the CC (according to Pew's most educated/least educated/highest income/lowest income Study) has the most educated and richest block of members -- over 12 million on them -- of any other denomination in US, Christian or otherwise. The most the EC can come up with in that category is 700,000; and the highest income group -- American Jews -- can only come up with 2.6 million members in that category.
