rhammar Posted February 20, 2012 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 at 07:49 PM A church's bylaws specify that proposed amendments to the church bylaws must be "read" to the congregation on the two Sundays immediately preceding the date of the regular or specially called business meeting in which the proposed amendment will be considered. The church provided each member with the written text of the proposed amendment on the two preceding Sundays. Is this sufficient? One member insists that the notice requirement was not satisfied since the proposed amendment was not literally "read" to the congregation.

Some principles of interpretation are available in RONR (11th Ed.) beginning on page 588. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
