& Statistics—10-Year Decline by 24% for The Episcopal Church
--2012 Table of Statistics of the Episcopal Church
--Domestic Fast Facts: 2012
--Episcopal Domestic Fast Facts Trends: 2009-2013
--Statistical Totals for the Episcopal Church by Province: 2012-2013
--Statistical Totals for the Episcopal Church by Province and Diocese: 2012-2013
--Membership and Attendance Totals for the Episcopal Church: 2013
The most significant measure remains average Sunday attendance, and you can see the Ten Year % Change in ASA has gone from -23% in 2011 to -24% in 2012. This does not reflect the completely fallacious way in which the diocese of South Carolina's majority membership is still included in these figures; if it were the decline would be even greater.

"Transforming Churches" Case Studies
"Transforming Churches" is a series of case studies, prepared by the Episcopal Church's Office of Research, that offers in-depth analyses of Episcopal parishes in many different contexts and geographical locations that were able to either reverse decline or continue substantial growth and find ways to thrive in the 21st century.

“We’re Just Glad You Joined Us: St. Ann’s Episcopal
Church, Windham, Maine” tells the story of a welcoming and friendly,
yet once struggling, New England parish. Find out how St. Ann's dedicated
laypeople and their new rector were able to re-energize the parish. How they
did it may be unique to St. Ann's, but where they started is a situation all
too common among small churches in America.
The Office of Research
examines local trends and demographics, which can help Episcopal congregations
grow and better respond to the needs of their communities. Congregations that
are more welcoming to newcomers offer more opportunities for transformation and
mission. The "Studying Your Congregation and Community" charts break
down social and demographic characteristics of Episcopal churches and their
communities by geographical location. Trends in membership, average worship
attendance, and financial giving can be used to indicate growth, decline, or
stability. The community demographic profile provides an overview of a one-mile
radius of a congregation’s physical location.
