So, further information was learned. A group of conservative (say, traditional) United Methodists is also planning to split off to become a new "Global Methodist Church" as of May 1st. https://archive.ph/tXxKQ
The Global Methodist Church will launch on May 1, 2022.
United Methodist Church leaders have failed to make timely arrangements for holding a General Conference in 2022, and so have postponed it for a third time. Therefore, the Protocol of Reconciliation and Grace through Separation, a plan that would have resulted in an amicable and orderly separation will not be adopted until at least 2024. The Transitional Leadership Council determined it must launch the Global Methodist Church this year so local churches, annual conferences, and central conferences wanting to join it could do so as soon as possible.
For approximately 12 to 18 months, the Global Methodist Church will be a church in transition as it prepares for its convening General Conference. During the transitional period, the Global Methodist Church will operate under the Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline.
Is it finally happening? I know they had been waiting for a conference, but the Bishops (mostly progressives) delayed it because of "the coof" for the third year in a row.
