Thanks for that. That's one of the more impressive number baptized at a convention in recent years! Earlier you had mentioned a figure of 520 - what was that in rreference to?

I'm a bit lost here , is this the very first set of DC's running from 2014/15? as Austrailia is in the Southern Hempishere they are the first, and 900 baptized seems a strangly large amount ?

Jookbeard, my reaction also - 900 baptized is very high even given the attendance of 70,000. Earlier in this thread Witness 007 had mentioned a figure of 520 in the same context of baptisms but it looked a bit unrelated so when I asked, he replied as above. That number - 900 - is actually very impressive that I'm not sure whether it was related to the Melbourne convention alone. Here's hoping there's some clarification.

Sorry I heard these figures maybe combined with other conventions.

Even if 900 were Bapped at this Convention, which I doubt, if the 70,000 who attended were fairly typical of the general population that would just about replace the number from the 70,000 who will die in the next 12 months.
Hardly growth.
