How many delegates are in Sibiu?

I just discovered an interesting information in a news release of the World Council of Churches dealing with yesterday's speech of Samuel Kobia: Kobia was addressing some 2500 delegates and other official participants from most European church traditions attending the opening session of the Third European Ecumenical Assembly, which he termed as the "single largest regular gathering of Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant church leaders in the world".
You can read the whole news release here.

You forgot the most interesting thing in this press release. When Kobia made his greetings, already the majority of the people had gone to lunch. So it weren't 2.500 people, but maybe 500.
But of course, as PR employee you cannot tell the truth, but the official numbers ;-)

Well, the official number would be 2.100 delegates :-)
