this sentence is grammatically nonsensical - please fix it[edit]

The middle clause, consisting of a single word, "Second", is grammatically nonsensical. Please fix it and rewrite this sentence. I would edit it myself but I have no idea what this sentence is trying to say.

"Branch churches of The Mother Church may take the title of First Church of Christ, Scientist; Second; but the article The must not be used, presumably to concede the primacy of the Boston Mother Church."

Membership[edit]

I followed the link as to church membership, and in no way did it say that the church reports a membership of 85,000. In fact, the church specifically does not report membership totals. Estimates as to church membership seems to range between 450,000 to fewer than 100,000. I've made the changes.
