26.2. 25-2

25-2. Whenever it may seem for the best interests of the church that a congregational meeting should be held, the Session shall call such meeting and give public notice of at least one week. No business shall be transacted at such meeting except what is stated in the notice. The Session shall always call a congregational meeting when requested in writing to do so: a. by one-fourth (1/4) of the communing members of a church of not more than one hundred (100) such members, b. by one-fifth (1/5) of the communing members of a church of more than one hundred (100) and not more than three hundred (300) such members, c. by one-sixth (1/6) of the communing members of a church of more than three hundred (300) and not more than five hundred (500) such members, d. by one-seventh (1/7) of the communing members of a church of more than five hundred (500) members but not more than seven hundred (700) such members, e. by one hundred (100) of the communing members of a church of more than seven hundred (700) such members. Upon such a proper request, if the Session cannot act, fails to act or refuses to act, to call such a congregational meeting within thirty (30) days from the receipt of such a request, then any member or members in good standing may file a complaint in accordance with the provisions of BCO 43.
