Two censuses (separated by four years) were taken of those attending a suburban Anglican parish church. The results show that whilst the term ‘usual Sunday attendance’ indicates ‘attendance trends’, it says little else. ‘Usual Sunday attendance’ says nothing about church membership (Electoral Roll), patterns of individual Sunday attendance at worship, or planned financial commitment to the church. The figure greatly underestimates the number of people engaged with their local church
