Official Acts, Subscriptions

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Official Acts, Subscriptions (1): The official acts of a minister coming in question incidentally, unless contrary to the statute, are as valid as the official acts of any other officer.190 A clergyman who was engaged to conduct dedication services and was requested by the officers of the local corporation to solicit subscriptions for paying off the indebtedness of the church, but was not appointed agent to receive such subscriptions, had no authority to accept a subscription for the corporation.191
