Next Sunday morning the sun will rise; the smell of coffee, toast and bacon will fill the kitchens of many. And some 56 million Americans will get ready to attend one of 300,000 churches dotting the landscape of this nation.

Of those, less than 7 percent will attend Protestant and other Christian churches with 500 or more members, while 59 percent will attend those churches with less than 100 members.
