Business, Religious Membership

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Business, Religious Membership (1): Unless there is some other law or rule to the contrary, the male members of the congregation over twenty-one years of age constitute the business membership of a religious society.202 But the question of membership of religious societies or congregations is left to be determined by the rules of the religious denomination to which they belong.203 And where a condition of membership is that the person must contribute to the support of the church and be a communicant, if he is not a communicant he is not entitled to vote.204
