>From what I've noticed here in my ward-- Prospective Elders: 98% Inactive* Elders: Seems like 25-30% Inactive, at least here High Priests: 5-10% Inactive, but it seems as if the inactivity occurs mainly for health reasons, such as an extended hospitalization
As Paul O. noted, Prospective Elders are counted in the numbers for the Elders Quorum, regardless of the actual priesthood office the member has (if any). On that basis, the 50% inactivity rate for the entire Quorum sounds just about right. /Sandy/ (* The 2% in this category are invariably recent converts, and most of these don't remain Prospective Elders for very long, as they receive the Melchezidek Priesthood within months to perhaps over a year. The remaining 98% either dropped off the radar screen shortly after being baptised, or else fell away while they were still attending Aaronic Priesthood quorums.) ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
