jstackpo Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:29 PM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 03:29 PM Countering Dan's ever cheerful optimism, your church may have rules (Bylaws) that give full and exclusive control of church business to the council (or other group) which would preclude any assembly decisions. Check the rules/bylaws and see who is in control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted February 11, 2018 at 05:08 PM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 05:08 PM I don't have a clue what our disgusted guest is asking about. He needs to tell us more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted February 11, 2018 at 05:28 PM Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 at 05:28 PM Usually the answer is yes. Except in some cases where a rule would be constructed to prevent its suspension, at worst, the rules could be suspended to permit this. The rules could be suspended to permit me to make a motion or recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would submit that if the council is given exclusive control, that would include the authority to place a given matter before the general assembly for a decision, if the council believed such a course of action to be appropriate.
