Latest from Mormon Land: Slowest church growth since 1857; surprise temples; and the life of Dallin Oaks

The pandemic plunge All church statistics for 2020 should carry a COVID-19 asterisk. While everyone expected the pandemic to shrink growth, we now know the extent: Convert baptisms cut in half, for instance, and new children of record down by nearly a third. Independent researcher Matt Martinich, who religiously tracks these demographics at ldschurchgrowth.blogspot.com, sheds more light with some eye-popping observations: Total membership • 16,663,663, up 98,627 (0.6%) from 16,565,036 in 2019. “The last time the church reported an annual membership growth rate that was slower than 2020 was in 1857, when negative membership growth occurred (this was during the time of the reformation movement when church leaders advocated rebaptism to recommit to their covenants and to church teachings),” Martinich writes. “.The last time there was an increase of less than 100,000 for total church membership was in 1973, when there was a net increase of 87,750 members.”
