Guest Lance Posted March 22, 2011 at 12:43 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 at 12:43 PM Hello, reworking our Constitution and Bylaws at church. This may not be a Robert's type question, however, we have a constitution and we have bylaws. Is is appropriate to refer to a specific section of the bylaws in the constitution?

ThanksBeware, as this may raise issues of correspondence in the future if a material were added or deleted that resulted in runumbering the sections. If you have much back-and-forth referencing, you might consider merging both documents and calling them your bylaws. Problem solved.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted March 22, 2011 at 03:19 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 at 03:19 PM Hello, reworking our Constitution and Bylaws at church. This may not be a Robert's type question, however, we have a constitution and we have bylaws. Is is appropriate to refer to a specific section of the bylaws in the constitution? ThanksSince the constitution should be more difficult to change than the bylaws, it's not logical for the more permanent constitution to refer to a section of the more temporary bylaws, but, as George notes, it violates no rule of RONR.

Guest Guest Posted March 22, 2011 at 03:49 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 at 03:49 PM Thank you for your answers. I am leaning toward referring to the Bylaws in a non specific manner. Thanks again. Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
