Church Membership Figures Furnished by Dr Carroll
Dr H K Carroll, chief statistician for the 1901 US church census, reports total communicant membership in the United States at 28,090,687 with an overall increase of 2.67 percent. Roman Catholics lead in numbers and gain, Episcopalians second, while Disciples of Christ show rapid growth. The figures suggest Catholic totals around 9.16 million. Lutherans show mixed gains and losses across many synods. Methodists report notable evangelistic gains but with disputed totals. Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and African Methodists also show varying shifts. The analysis notes double counting risks for some denominations and limited data on Mormons and Quakers, with rapid changes in some western branches.
