The Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline of the Global Methodist Church, adopted in 2022 at the denomination's founding, is the Global Methodist Church's own governing and doctrinal text, produced from a January 2022 gathering of Wesleyan scholars and adopted to guide the new denomination through its first years before a permanent Book of Discipline was developed. Its strength is that it is the denomination's own primary founding document, the correct source for describing what the Global Methodist Church itself holds and how it governs itself, rather than an outside characterization of a newly formed body. Its limit is exactly that it is a self-issued denominational text describing what the church holds rather than an independent account of why the Global Methodist Church separated from the United Methodist Church or how that split has actually played out, so a claim about the broader Methodist schism needs an independent historical or journalistic source alongside this primary governing document.

Facts

Assessment

Reliability Tier

The Global Methodist Church's own governing and doctrinal text, its definitional statement of church order rather than a scholarly account of the denomination's formation.

Notes

The Global Methodist Church's own Transitional Book of Doctrines and Discipline (2022); the denomination's governing and doctrinal text itself, not a scholarly account of its formation.
