Now that I think about it, having inflated numbers that seems more appropriate for the Pentagon than a Church. The total of the average yearly head count, that been accurately kept by all those Ward Clerks still seems the best figure to use.

When a church proclaims to be one of the fasting growing churchs in the world, it helps to show growth. The average head count may not show growth, which isn't exactly faith promoting.
