According to a recent study of
Orthodoxy in the United States,
the real membership in all
Eastern Christian Churches in the
USA can be estimated at about
1,200,000 persons. This figure
is considerably less than the
commonly accepted estimations,
which range as high as over four
million.
The greatest disproportions
between "claimed" and actual
memberships were found in the
two largest Orthodox jurisdictions:
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese
(typically claimed 1,954,500*
members versus 440,000 actual
adherents) and The Orthodox
Church in America (1,000,000*
versus 115,000 actual
adherents). The most likely
reason for this discrepancy is the
common practice of equating
Church membership with the total
number of representatives of a
corresponding ethnic group
including second and third
American generations of the
original immigrants, independent
of these persons’ actual
relationship to the Orthodox
Church.
