225-I - Trustee meetings.

  225-i.  Trustee  meetings.  1.  Meetings  of  the  trustees  of  an
  incorporated free Methodist church shall be called by  giving  at  least
  forty-eight  hours'  notice  thereof  personally  or  by mail to all the
  trustees, and such notice may be given by the pastor, the  secretary  of
  the  board  of  trustees  or  by  any  two  of  the trustees, but by the
  unanimous consent of the trustees a meeting may be held without previous
  notice thereof. The pastor may preside at a trustee meeting and  in  his
  absence  the  senior  trustee  in  service, or some member, the board of
  trustees elects for that purpose, shall be chairman. A majority  of  the
  whole  number  of trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
  of business at any meeting lawfully convened.
2. The effect of a tie vote creating a deadlock shall be to carry  the
  question involved (with all pending questions appertaining thereto) over
  to  the next sitting or meeting of the board. In case of such a deadlock
  extending beyond three successive sittings or meetings of the  board  of
  trustees, the whole matter involved shall be settled in a meeting of the
  corporate society.
