Appendices to Revival Growth in Auckland

Tables of source data for figures in the above paper.  Additions and corrections are requested for these. Particularly graphs of attendance figures for Presbyterian, Evangelical Methodists, Pentecostal denominations, Ringatu, and Ratana denominations would improve accuracy.  (Several other tables yet to be added)

Chart 1: Grigg Estimate of Major Type of Christianity, 1986-2001

These can be rounded off.  They are based on estimates of estimates, compared with estimates based on censuses, (one of which is not compatible with the others, thanks to expert government statisticians), and then compared with denominational figures.  After reviewing them over 20 times, gradually accuracy has been obtained, but variations of 10,000 in any one of these could be quite feasible, considering the Christian (not clear category), and how do you define liberal?  Having done this globally for cities I am aware that all statistics like this are approximations.
