A split is going to happen, but like the Presbyterians in the 70s and 80s, the UMC technically owns property and real estate. So if a local church wants to split, they will either have to pay for their buildings again or find another place.
It really slowed the Presbyterian split, which opted for more church planting. There are some beautiful Presbyterian churches across the South that have like 10 attendees. The churches just can’t afford to leave and their parishioners have moved on.
I generally think the SBC has caused a lot of issues in modern Christendom, but boy they got the autonomy of the local church right.

I used to attend one. The only moderate-right episcopal church left.
I loved that church service.

I was raised Presbyterian and we had a big split in our church when the National organization voted to allow same sex marriage. A good portion of our congregation left and our church has spent the last few years recovering from it.
When I go home to visit my parents I still go to that church but I am no longer Presbyterian as the entire leadership structure of the church has gone super leftwing (like so many groups these days ) and is really off putting to me.
