I have changed the title to rectify the brutal and ethnocentric error. Secondly, M-H, I wouldn't be worried in the slightest. Sydney Anglicanism is just a big fish in a pond that's getting smaller and smaller, and we can walk alongside and over it as though it weren't even there.

Say it isn't so! (Maybe it's gone down again since 2001 - it's nearly ten years ago, after all...)

I have a small correction: the data is not sourced from the 2001 ABS Census but rather from National Church Life Surveys from 1991 to 2001. NCLS undertook a lengthy and detailed data gathering process to arrive at the figures that you have in this table - it would be the best comparative data that we have of trends in attendance by denomination in Australia.
