At one time I thought the divisions over this issue in the United Methodist Church would recede with traditional Christians receding into the background - those that didn’t just leave. Now I’m wondering if schism is actually possible, that Conservative Methodists are going stand up and, I surmise, fight and if they lose start leaving, with their pastors, in mass.
The only think holding the Methodist church in somewhat of check is the African Methodist Church. The American Methodists leaders don’t like it.
