If so, then I gather the argument is only tangentially about numbers. I've read some reviews of the book which state that the first four chapters of the book are statistical analyses. I may buy a copy for my husband, certainly will take a look at it next trip to the bookstore. I would tend to distrust any statistical projections that an historian generated, so I need to take a look at who did them. The author is Episcopalian, and the reviews say he has some funny anecdotes involving Episcopalian clergy from Africa. In one anecdote, an African bishop who visited the Pacific Northwest was taken aback by totem poles in public areas, feared that they had evil spirits, and wanted to exorcise them. He describes how African Episcopalians believe that Western Christians have wandered away from their faith, and are consecrating missionary priests to convert us, much to the consternation of Northern Episcopalian clergy.
