In 1969, there were 800 congregations in the U.S. and the world, with 3,170 ministers organized into a World Fellowship of the World Church. These figures were questioned at the time by many who claimed that the movement consisted merely of the single congregation in Los Angeles. [1] Though the number of churches in the World Fellowship may be in dispute, there are or have been fellowships in Hawaii and Australia. Moreover, several pastors associated with the movement were reported in attendance at the Jaggers' wedding in 1957. [2]
