==Origins==
The Global Methodist Church split from the [[United Methodist Church]] as a result of the latter’s official stance on [[homosexuality]] and having homosexuals be allowed to serve as pastors and preachers within the church. Consequently, since its split, the United Methodist Church has lost over 7,600 church congregations in favor of the more conservative Global Methodist Church.<ref name="Shimron 1970 v364">{{cite web | last=Shimron | first=Yonat | title=United Methodists Lose 1,800 Churches in Split Over LGBT Stance | website=News & Reporting | date=1970-01-01 | url=https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2023/january/umc-churches-leave-global-methodist-denomination-schism.html | access-date=2023-11-26}} </ref> <ref> https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2023/december/united-methodist-church-split-total-umc-disaffiliation-lgbt.html </ref>
