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.
