How many Episcopalians...
How many Episcopalians does it take to change a light bulb? [grin]
Sixty of 95 congregations have exchanged their incandescent light bulbs for compact fluorescents (CFLs) so far this summer in the Diocese of Ohio’s “How Many Light Bulbs Does it Take to Change an Episcopalian?” campaign to reduce its carbon footprint.
“That’s 5,431 bulbs,” reports intern Andy Barnett.
So extrapolating from the average number of bulbs per congregation, and dividing the number of Episcopalians (active baptized members) in Ohio by the total number of bulbs, that's...
29,400 members ÷ 8600 bulbs = 3 members per bulb
