AboutJon Bond Expertise Will answer all questions regarding Unitarian Universalist (UU)church; including ancient history (Universalists go back to at least 250 A.D.) and medieval history (Unitarians look to 1553 A.D. as their beginning) up to merger of the two movements in 1961 and continuing up to present. Am familiar with Christian church organizations and relationship of UUs to traditional churches.

Question Jon, I want to make a graph of UU membership as a percentage of the US population in the last 40 years. In one of your answers you said you could give the address of a web site that have detailed numbers on congregation's membership. Would you refer me to that site, please. And any other information that would help in making my graph.

Answer Timothy -
Interesting question and, while searching for a web site that has those numbers, I hit the jackpot!
Scott Robbins, Assistant Director, for Annual Program Fund at Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, sent me these numbers.
He did ask me to include this caveat: i.e. Please be advised that our data is pulled from a number of different sources, so the numbers contained herein are not the final, official numbers. However, they are very close approximations and can certainly be used to satisfy your inquiry. As such, this data is not authorized for dissemination beyond personal use.
Please contact him directly if you need authorization for any use other than personal.
His phone number is (617) 948-6512 and he can also be reached at srobbins@uua.org or at apf@uua.org
