Mark Hanna, in a letter to the Editor of the Independent (A Queensland University Newspaper) late 1995 advised that the CofS membership in Australia was 120,000. Ms Kee in a letter to the Editor of the Sun Herald 9/2/96 advised that the CofS membership in Australia is 100,00. This represents a loss of 20,000 members in three months. There is considerable doubt is either figure quoted by the CofS is accurate. Regards Tony McClelland
