Original: Former Arkansas minister elected bishop during Global Methodist Church meeting in South Africa

A former Arkansas minister has been elected bishop during the Global Methodist Church's meeting in South Africa. The election marks a significant step for the conservative denomination, which formed as United Methodist congregations split from that church over disagreements on doctrine and governance. The former minister will now take on senior leadership responsibilities within the growing global body.

Why now: The election highlights the Global Methodist Church's expanding international leadership amid the ongoing United Methodist split.
