Thanks for the resources! I edited out that request.

I managed to simplify my question. This is the relevant line from our current constitution (church) C12.05. d. The Congregation Council shall prepare an annual budget for adoption by this congregation, (emphasis added) shall supervise the expenditure of funds in accordance therewith following its adoption, and may incur obligations of more than $ 10, 000 in excess of the anticipated receipts only after approval by a Congregation Meeting. The budget shall include this congregation's full indicated share in support of the wider ministry being carried on in partnership with the synod and churchwide organization. My question: Can the Council-prepared budget be amended from the floor by a congregation member, following appropriate procedures? Or, based on this language is it a binary vote? Thanks, Todd
