Used here as the independent estimate against the Global Methodist Church's own congregation-count reporting.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (12 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedJohn LomperisPublisherWell-attestedJuicy Ecumenism (Institute on Religion and Democracy)Publication YearWell-attested2023URLWell-attestedhttps://juicyecumenism.com/2023/08/08/how-big-is-the-united-methodist-split-so-far/Source TypeWell-attestedjournalismAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2Reliability tier 2: a named analyst writing for a denominational-advocacy publication, not an independent membership count, but a stated, checkable calculation applying the United Methodist Church's own 2020 average congregation size to the Global Methodist Church's reported congregation count, used here only because the Global Methodist Church itself publishes congregation counts rather than an individual membership total.Cross-Tradition ConnectionsAssociated WithGlobal Methodist Church, Denominations Well-attested This source names Global Methodist Church directly: "published 2023-08-08, estimating Global Methodist Church individual membership at 310,000 to 656,523 by applying the United Methodist Church's own 2020 average congregation size (211.78 members per..."Source How Big Is the United Methodist Split So Far?
