Methodist polity embodies characteristics that are unique expressions of its doctrinal stance and missional purpose. United Methodism features governance derived from sources in John Wesley's eighteenth-century reform movement. It is shaped by subsequent attempts to define the denomination in the context of American culture. Two significant schisms, O'Kelly Republican Methodism in 1792 and Methodist Protestantism in 1828, represent these challenges to Wesley's construct. They also set the contextual reference for a 2005 United Methodist Judicial Council decision on church membership, and its implications for the future of the denomination.
