Several theologically conservative United Methodist leaders have recently unveiled plans to launch a new denomination in 2022.
According to The Christian Post, the United Methodist Church has long been at a crossroads as conservative and progressive members have been largely divided over issues such as same-sex marriage and the ordination of LGBT clergy.
On Monday, the Wesleyan Covenant Association and the 17-member Transitional Leadership Council published a statement announcing the new denomination, “The Global Methodist Church” (GMC).
The denomination, however, will not be officially launched until 2022 because the UMC General Conference will need to convene to pass a separation measure known as the Protocol for Reconciliation and Grace through Separation.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
