That is a "clear indication of a retention problem," he says. "In order to tym new stakes you have! to have a certain number of active priesthood holders." 'To attain the . ul (SIFT r church's Melchezidek priesthood, available only to men, the churchgoer must i regularly attend church for at least a year. Only members who hold that " office can be appointed to positions of authority or lead congregations. "If we cannot hold our new male converts around long enough to get the Melchezidek priesthood, we cannot create new stakes," Mauss says. A stake is a congrega' tion roughly comparable to a t "r. Catholic diocese But retention among male verts is particularly low. - con- One couple who returned from Quezon City in the Philippines in 1993 reported that only 30 percent of their mission's members were active, and 90 percent of the active members were female, Bennion said. Only 25 percent of members attend weekly church services in Asia and Latin America, 35 percent in Europe, and 40 to 50 percent in Africa, Canada, the South Pacific and the United States, according to The Encyclopedia of Mormonism. "Low attendance reflects low retention but it could also be a result of difficulties in attending church in poor countries with inadequate transportation," said BYU sociologist Tim Heaton, who wrote the essay in the encyclopedia. What also needs to be taken into account is the method with which the LDS Church calculates its membership. Mormons count every living man and woman who has ever been baptized, regardless of whether they are active in the faith or not. The only people not included are the fewer than 1 percent of baptized Mormons who have been excommunicated or asked to have their names removed from membership rolls. The tally also includes all LD. the age m children under eight accounts baptism. That population for roughly 15 percent of American Mormons, according to the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. church-sanction- ed BEAUTE A LA MODE Choose Your Gift By Colour Family With Any 1 7.50 Lancome Purchase.
