 | 2008-MAY-09: Church attendance in the UK is in freefall:
The document Religious Trends published by
Christian Research in the United Kingdom estimates that:
 | By 2035, 1.96 million Muslims -- double the
number attending today -- will be attending mosques. They will outnumber
Christians who attend churches. |
 | Church attendance in Britain is declining so
fast that the "Church of England, Catholicism and other denominations
will become financially unviable." By 2030, the number of Anglican
churches in the UK will drop to 10,000 with an average attendance of 35
persons. |
 | Calls for disestablishment of the Church of
England, which has been the official church, will likely result.
