Removing

Church, Building, Removing

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Church, Building, Removing (1): Where subscriptions were secured to build a church at a particular place as a memorial to a certain person, a congregation may be enjoined from tearing down the building and removing it to another place.493 But a court of equity will not prevent the removal of a church where a majority of the congregation favors it, although a legal meeting had not been held to determine the matter.494
