→60,000 to 100,000 ??
This is an OCA created number. The Russian Church Abroad has always been larger than the OCA. For example, there are 50,000 faithful in New York alone! The closer number is 1.35 million worldwide. The Church lost over 150,000 members in Russia and South America because of its reunion with the Patriarchate.
Get it right.{{unsigned|Slava}} : The 60k to 100k figure comes from [http://www.interfax-religion.com/?act=interview&div=51 an interview with ROCOR spokesman Fr. Alexander Lebedev]. I have my doubts that he gets his jurisdiction's statistics from the OCA. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.
