That is a growth rate slightly less than the normal population growth rate for the last 4 years. If Mormon membership had kept pace with the UK growth rate the 2012 numbers would be 188,869.

only myopia would lead someone to conclude "slightly less" from a less than 0.5% percentage deviation.
Geez you guys are in deep.

I assume you're talking about a statistical margin of error. Please show your work.

188,029 or 188,869. I'll leave it up to you to decide which is slightly less. The "0.5% percentage deviation" is your statement. You do the math.
