Societies

Societies, Secular Work

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Societies, Secular Work (1): Business meetings of benevolent and church societies for benevolent or church work may be held on Sunday. Even the constitution of such societies may be amended on Sunday. However, secular work that does not come strictly under the functions of such societies would be unlawful.744

Societies, Law

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Societies, Law (1): Religious societies organized in connection with a church or congregation are in law civil societies and not ecclesiastical corporations, and are governed by the law of the land. Therefore, the law of fraternities fully covers all questions that arise in such societies. The subject is too comprehensive to be treated at any length here.831
