Can You Imagine 267,000,000 Mormons?


This is a good summary of The Rise of Mormonism written by Rodney Stark, the sociologist who predicted in 1984 (in his controversial article, "The Rise of a New World Faith") that by 2080 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could have as many as 267,000,000 members. I always wondered who it was that made these sort of predictions. Apparently, the Church is ahead of pace. Hopefully I'll be around to see if he's right.

The "Mormon Metaphysics" Blog looks like a pretty interesting site as well.
