Re: Signs of Decline in LSMs Recovery - Tomes
The church in Dallas began in 1971 with possibly two dozen 'saints.' Sorry for the quotes. I began meeting about one and half years later. By 75 or 76 there were between 250 and 300 in Sun morning meeting. Just 15 years later there were only around 6 in the Lords Table. This was told me by a leading elder. He and another substantial elder came and turned things around. Today, 40 plus years later there are at least 200 meeting but with the split of the Hispanics and anglos, it is more difficult to exactly number. Clearly there is little net increase. Of course they would say many have migrated out. Some did migrate back.
