"ELCA Disaffiliation Votes"
"(T)he numbers of ELCA congregations disaffiliating for the past five years are the following:
2009 - 10
2010 - 302
2011 - 298
2012 - 49
2013 - 16
Total - 675
Nine hundred fifty-four congregations took a first vote. Several of these took multiple first votes. We still get occasional requests for explanation of the process of disaffiliation. These are referred to the appropriate synod office."
