I wanted to make a correction to the statistics on my previous post. My friend Pastor Ted Ng clarified a small misunderstanding I had in the statistics. 33% of people in metro Vancouver, population 2.6 million people, say they are a Christian of one stripe or another; that statistic I got right.
15% of those 2.6 million people, the overall population of metro Vancouver [not 15% of the 33% (858,000 people) as stated in the post] put into practice some form of their faith. And 1.5% of the overall population, 2.6 million people in Metro Vancouver (again, not of the 33% of professing Christians), attend church weekly.
Doing the math, what this means is that 4.5% of professing Christians in Metro Vancouver attend church services on a weekly basis, still a minuscule percentage, but all things being equal,... the Title of the post should have been "4.5% of professing Christians in Metro Vancouver."
