Vested Rights
Control, Secede, Vested Rights
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Control, Secede, Vested Rights (1): The officers of a church corporation have control of the business management for all civil purposes, excepting as otherwise provided by the articles of organization, charter, or by-laws of the corporation. However, the by-laws must not contravene the laws of the State.130 A charter was refused in Pennsylvania which provided that the congregation might, by a majority vote, dissolve or secede from the central body and divide the property.131 A charter of incorporation may be amended in harmony with the principles, discipline, and objects of the church, but not otherwise.132 The fact that incorporation of a church confers certain rights and privileges under the charter, such charter being accepted, does not give the church corporation any vested rights.133
