It takes either a Board Meeting or General Meeting doesn't it to vote for disaffilliation should he discuss with those the reasons he is disaffilliating?

imo...if the church is UPC they have a right to know why he believes they should disaffilliate...especially if he is not the founding pastor but voted in..

what say ye??

Churches should have unbiased, objective boards rather than allow one man that much control. He should at least consider the opinions of the church membership

Here's a different slant Prax. Our Church board decided we should vote to become non affiliated earlier this year.

Our pastor was not for this but the board voted on it and then took it to the church and the chuch voted on it and passed.

A meeting must be announced three times and the district informed of the intent of the church and they have the right to send a district representive to the business meeting to present wht they feel the church should remain affiliated.

I think the pastor should be on the board.

Pastor is President of the board or of our corporation I believe Prax, but he can't out vote the board of elders or trustee board.

You should read the thread, "How Much Information Should The Saints Expect From Their Pastor?" Just don't mention Coonskinner's name!!
