Lutherans and Other DenominationsAncient Traditions - Eastern Orthodox According to a recent study of Orthodoxy in the United States, the real membership in all Eastern Christian Churches in the USA can be estimated at about 1,200,000 persons. This figure is considerably less than the commonly accepted estimations, which range as high as over four million.The greatest disproportions between "claimed" and actual memberships were found in the two largest Orthodox jurisdictions: The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese (typically claimed 1,954,500* members versus 440,000 actual adherents) and The Orthodox Church in America (1,000,000* versus 115,000 actual adherents). The most likely reason for this discrepancy is the common practice of equating Church membership with the total number of representatives of a corresponding ethnic group including second and third American generations of the original immigrants, independent of these persons’ actual relationship to the Orthodox Church.
