50-II - Meetings of trustees.

 
    §  50-ii.  Meetings  of  trustees.  Meetings  of  the trustees of such
  incorporated church shall be called  by  giving  at  least  three  days'
  notice  thereof  in  writing, served personally or by mail to all of the
  trustees, unless, by a regularly adopted  standing  resolution  a  fixed
  date  for  such  meeting  is the approved order, in which case a written
  notice may be dispensed with. To duly constitute such regular or special
  meeting of the trustees for the transaction of business, at any  meeting
  lawfully  convened,  there  shall  be  present  a majority of the laymen
  trustees,  the  rector  or  vicar  of  the  church,  the  clerk  of  the
  corporation   and  either  the  archbishop  who  is  the  ecclesiastical
  administrator, the vicar-general or the chancellor of  the  Metropolitan
  Synod  Holy  Orthodox Church of America. But if the church has no rector
  or vicar, at least one of the trustees who is a warden must be  present.
  If  either  the  archbishop,  vicar-general  or the chancellor cannot be
  present, the archbishop who is the ecclesiastical administrator may send
  his proxy to one of the laymen trustees. No act or procedure other  than
  regular  routine matters in regard to the administration of the temporal
  affairs of  the  church  and  for  the  care  of  the  property  of  the
  corporation, as included in the budget items, shall be valid without the
  sanction of the archbishop and ecclesiastical administrator of the synod
  or  diocese to which the church belongs; nor shall the trustees, without
  the consent of the corporate meeting incur debts for items not  provided
  in  the  adopted budget. Trustees of such incorporated church shall have
  no power to call, settle or remove a minister or to fix his  salary;  or
  to  fix,  change  the  time,  nature  or  order  of the public or social
  worship, rites and religious observances of such  church  which  are  or
  shall be established by the governing ecclesiastical body.
