Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: a reference aggregator's entry compiling material from published encyclopedias of American religion, a secondary reference source rather than the organization's own primary record. NotesA tertiary reference aggregator rather than an independent survey; the figures it reports trace back to The Salvation Army's own published statistics of the period rather than to Encyclopedia.com's own research. Used here only for the dated 2001 count it states.
