Aren’t the Methodists in the midst of a similar schism? Will this bear on their situation?
They’ve already agreed to a split. The conservative group has already begun the transition process, though everything will not be legalized until the next UMC General Conference, in 2022. The only problem I have with the conservative group is the name they have chosen, Global Methodist Church. They named it that, because without the African, Asian and Philippine church, the liberal church would have resoundingly won the day, but the new name sounds too much like political globalism to me, which I am against.
