Comments about ‘English saints a testament of faith – Kristine Frederickson on MormonTimes.com’

Oh please. The church in england is dying a slow death, as it is in the whole of europe. Sad but true, don't try to put fluff on the decline on the mormon faith.

Excel" You are confusing the Church OF England with the LDS Church in the British Isles.

The Church in the British Isles is healthy, strong, faithful, and growing.

It appears that you are indebted to your imagination for your 'facts.'

I joined the British Saints at a time when the whole of Britain had 74 branches and slightly less than 5,000 members.

Since then I have witnessed its growth and development from the huge influx of new members in what David O McKay called the New Era when dedicating the London Temple in the late 1950's, to the first stake in 1960, with other stakes being formed, staffed, and equipped in less than 12 months afterwards.

The Latter-day Saint faith is still the fastest growing Christian denomination in the world with growth expectations predicted by a Sociologist of Religion that in another ten years the Church's membership will rise to a phenomenal level.

As LDS attendance rises the Anglicans' falls in inverse proportion, so that more Mormons go church Sundays than Anglicans, and there are as many Mormons today as there are Jews world-wide.

Do not mistake the vitality of the Restored Gospel.

How many of those "members" have been to church in the last 20 years or even still consider themselves Mormon? I haven't considered myself LDS in over 30 years, yet am still counted amongst the "faithful" by the church itself.
