Extract from Questions to the Church Commissioners: Church Attendance and Participation - Oct 15

The Second Church Estates Commissioner (Andrew Selous): I can tell my hon. Friend that the Church made a significant investment in a new digital communications team back in 2016. The training has been used by over 4,000 clergy. Over 7 million people have used our daily prayer apps. Nearly 3 million people have watched national online services, with about a fifth of those being people who rarely go to church or do not go at all. The good news is that the Church is reaching more people than ever before.
