The LDS church claims 14 million members worldwide -- optimistically including nearly every person baptized. But census data from some foreign countries targeted by clean-cut young missionaries show that the retention rate for their converts is as low as 25 percent. Picture taken February 17, 2009.

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:20:02 +0100 (Reuters) - George Wright (C) talks with his wife Maria Rosario Valente and his son Marco after a news conference at his lawyers' office in Lisbon November 17, 2011. The Portuguese judiciary on Thursday denied the extradition warrant for Wright requested by the U.S. Wright, 68, is a convicted U.S.-born murderer and alleged hijacker arrested in Portugal in September after 41 years on the run. Wright was convicted in 1963 for the murder of gas station owner Walter Patterson during an armed robbery in Wall, New Jersey. While serving his 15 to 30-year sentence, he escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1970. The FBI linked him to the commandeering, along with four other hijackers with children in tow, of a passenger plane from Detroit that was forced to land in Algeria in 1972.
