The official church emigrations (not counting the myriad individuals, families, and sizable church populations that have left without voting or without achieving the required 67 percent):

As of January 1, 2012 we show 616 congregations that have successfully taken the required two votes to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Another 31 congregations have successfully taken one sucessful vote to date. The total members lost to the ELCA from these congregations stands at 313,799.
