• View a summary of statistics from the Diocesan Journals about number and size of Maine congregations from our beginnings to the present.  The information begins with our earliest official record in 1832 and moves forward in 10 year increments from 1840 to 2010.  Credit for this research goes to George Van Hazinga who volunteered many hours with the Journals and the computer to compile the information and chart it.
