Check day every week

Have you seen Bishop Willimon’s conference dashboard?

You’ll find up to the week stats on how the conference churches are doing in terms of membership, baptisms, worship attendance, and apportionments paid.

It is pretty cool, although some of the reporting metrics appear to need to be adjusted to take account church size. For instance, a 25 member church that loses 2 members is down much more than a 500 member church that loses 5, but all the reports appear to be in terms of absolute numbers.

Still, I’m sure the dashboard is changing behavior in the conference – for good or ill.
