Section 200. Control of trustees by corporate meetings; salaries of ministers  


Latest version.
  • A  corporate  meeting  of  an  incorporated  church,  whose  trustees  are  elective  as  such, may give directions, not inconsistent
      with law, as to the manner in which any of the temporal affairs  of  the
      church   shall  be  administered  by  the  trustees  thereof;  and  such
      directions shall be  followed  by  the  trustees.  The  trustees  of  an
      incorporated  church  to which this article is applicable, shall have no
      power to settle or remove or fix the salary of the minister, or  without
      the  consent  of  a  corporate  meeting,  to  incur debts beyond what is
      necessary for the care of the property of the corporation; or to fix  or
      charge the time, nature or order of the public or social worship of such
      church,  except  when  such  trustees are also the spiritual officers of
      such church.
