The United Methodist Church (UMC) is experiencing a major schism between progressives and conservatives, which is the largest church split since the U.S. Civil War. The UMC's global membership and its ban on LGBTQ ordination seemed to suggest a different outcome than open schism, but the recent General Conference confirmed the church's leftward drift. A significant number of conservatives had already left, forming the Global Methodist Church (GMC), which now has around 4,500 member churches. The changes in the UMC's stance on sexual ethics will likely lead to new debates on issues related to the Sexual Revolution, and the denomination's struggles are not over at the local level.
