Book excerpt: The State of Church Giving through 2011 (23rd Edition, October 2013) includes the following: Chapters 1 through 5 update church member giving in the U.S. through 2011. The analyses include church member giving from 1921-2011 for a set of 11 denominations; review of data for a composite set of denominations from 1968 through 2011 that includes 26.7 million full or confirmed members; and giving and membership patterns and trends. Other analyses include congregational support of denominational overseas ministries updated through 2011; cost-per-day for various church populations to address evangelism and global needs such as preventing child deaths; and potential church giving levels where different factors are considered. Potential giving calculations are presented for all church members in the U.S., and also a specific analysis of Catholic giving in nine archdioceses. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey 2011 data for cash contributions to charity is analyzed by age, region, and income levels. The special focus chapter considers the relationship of the kingdom of God, church leaders and institutions, global triage needs, and the promises of Jesus in light of the analyses in the first seven chapters of this edition in the series.
