Abstract

Since the present UMC was formed by a merger of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Church in 1968, we have steadily lost American members every year, while many American churches outside of our denomination have grown. Denominational leaders bragged about how America had more United Methodist congregations than post offices and that the UMC was enough of a big tent to include both George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton. ARTICLES THE United Methodist Church, America's second-largest Protestant denomination, is not so united anymore. [Extracted from the article]
