Quick Facts Classification, Orientation ...

The formation of the New Methodist Conference is a part of the history of Methodism in the United States. It originated as a schism with the United Methodist Church in 2005, being formed by Rob Jones and Deborah Giordano, who were formerly United Methodist clergy.[2] The denomination ordains clergy in apostolic succession, which trace through Old Catholic lines of the historic episcopate; these include the threefold office of deacon, priest, and bishop.[1] It does affirm the ordination of women in Methodism.[3] The New Methodist Conference encourages expressions of Methodist Christian monasticism.[4]

The name "New Methodist Conference" (later called the Evangelical Association) was used by the connexion established in the 1700s under the leadership of Jacob Albright, a Lutheran who converted to Methodism and was ordained in that denomination after accepting the Methodist teachings on the New Birth and entire sanctification.[5]
