NEW YORK AP Growth of American church membership stalled after gains in the 1950s and 60s with 1971 totals showing a 1.97 percent rise to 131,045,953 but driven by new reporting bodies and factors.

Weekly attendance fell to about 40 percent overall, Catholics at 60 percent, Protestants 37 to 38 percent.
