The United Methodist Church is the largest Methodist and, after the Southern Baptist Convention, the second-largest Protestant denomination in the United States. In 2007 worldwide membership was about 12 million members: 8.2 million in the United States, 3.5 million in Africa, Asia and Europe.

The history of this denomination is one of splits and mergers. In 1820, the Methodist Protestant Church split from the Methodist Episcopal Church over the issue of laity having a voice and vote in the administration of the church, insisting that clergy should not be the only ones to have any determination in how the church was to be operated. In 1844, the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church split into two conferences because of tensions over slavery and the power of bishops in the denomination. The two General Conferences, Methodist Episcopal Church (or northern section) and Methodist Episcopal Church, South remained separate until the 1939 merger of these two denominations plus a third, the Methodist Protestant Church, the resulting church being known as The Methodist Church. In 1968, The Methodist Church united with the Evangelical United Brethren, also a result of mergers, to become The United Methodist Church (UMC).

Combining the personal holiness emphasis of the evangelical influence in the church with the outreach emphasis from the social gospel proponents has created a combination of practices within the United Methodist Church.

    UMC s in the news

    Dziennikarze "Polityki" postanowili dotrzeć do doktoratu premiera Jarosława Kaczyńskiego. Samej pracy nie odnaleźli, ustalili jednak, że nosiła tytuł "Rola ciał kolegialnych w kierowaniu szkołą wyższą".

    Progressive-leaning elites of a formerly bible-believing major denomination are coming to terms with a split between whether to continue to believe that God is in charge, or whether individual confusions and desires should be encouraged instead. This case, one of human genital mutilation to appear as the opposite gender, involves a UMC "minister."

    Way back in October 2005 the United Methodist Church (UMC) passed a resolution calling on George W. Bush to withdraw its troops from Iraq.The United Methodist Church — you know, the Christian church that George W. Bush took an oath to serve and support when he became a member after meeting his future wife, Laura Welch.
