The Church of England has disputed statistics published by Christian Research this week which pointed to serious decline in church attendance at the same time as active Muslims continue to grow.
Christian Today [UK] reports In the latest edition of its magazine Religious Trends, Christian Research forecast that by 2050 the number of Sunday churchgoers would drop from just under one million to around 899,000, whilst 4,000 churches could face closure by 2020 if present rates of decline continue. The number of active Muslims in the UK is predicted to grow to 2,960,000, three times the number of predicted Sunday churchgoers for the same year.
