Section 346. Changing number of laymen trustees  


Latest version.
  • An incorporated church to
      which this article is applicable may, at its  annual  corporate  meeting
      where  trustees  are  elected,  by a majority vote of the duly qualified
      voters at such meeting, change the number of its trustees by adding more
      trustees, one-third of which shall be elected for three years, one-third
      for two years and one-third for one year; or by  voting  to  discontinue
      the  offices  of certain specified trustees as they expire, one-third of
      said offices to be discontinued each year, until the number left is  the
      number  decided  upon.  No  such  changes  shall affect the terms of the
      trustees then in office, but each shall hold office until his full  term
      has  expired unless his office shall terminate as provided for elsewhere
      in this article.
