UUA Membership Statistics For 2017 Maintain The Status Quo Of Unitarian Universalist Decline

As in down, down, deeper and down. . .

Almost five months after the February 1st, 2017, deadline for official certification with the Unitarian Universalist Association, the total number of certified UUA congregations for 2017, including those with no financial contribution whatsoever to the UUA, is currently 989.

The total number of not-certified congregations for 2017 is 47.

If these two figures are added together, as the UUA habitually does to artificially boost the number of congregations it claims to have for its official annual membership statistics. . . the total figure is 1036 UUA congregations, which is 2 congregations fewer than 2016. In reality however, many of the not-certified congregations have been not-certified for several years now, and thus should be removed from the UUA's official membership statistics. In real terms, the UUA actually has less than 1000 congregations in the so-called U*U World, and this has been the status quo for quite some time now. . .
