Not an American church, eh?

So i found out that the good folks over at Worldmapper (an absolute nirvana for a demographics geek like me) have come up with a map of the world’s distribution of Mormons. The map follows, but you should look at the page it’s from to get all the background and such:


I plan to point to this map anytime somebody tries to say that we’re not an American church—really, we’re not that strong outside the Americas (with the minor exception of the Philippines), and the sooner we admit it, the sooner we can get to improving our preaching elsewhere.

I think they aren't counting Central and South America or Canada when they say "American." Remember. Only United Statesians are allowed to be American!

Yeah, i know--but the US is looking pretty big in that map, even if that's all you care about...
