Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Reliability tier 2: a peer-edited academic reference entry by a religious studies scholar who is also a former leader of the church she is writing about. She states outright that the church has never published its own membership figures and that her own estimates rest on insider knowledge rather than a published count, which is why this is a scholarly estimate rather than a stronger independently verified figure.
