Money, Powers

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Money, Powers (1): The treasurer of a congregation has no right to return to members moving out of the parish a part of the money paid for the church by them.297Officers of a corporation have no powers only those conferred upon them by the charter and by-laws of the corporation or by a majority vote of a duly called meeting of the congregation.298 When the trustees of a church are authorized to execute contracts for the church, they should act as a body or delegate the power to one of their number or ratify the acts of one of their number.299 The individual disjointed action of trustees of a religious society, at various times and places, although assented to by a majority, is not the action of the board, and is not binding on the society. To make the action of the board of trustees binding, they must duly meet and by a vote determine their action.300
