Bylaw Changes
Policy Governance assumes that there is a body charged with governance, i.e., the Board. If the congregation has not delegated governance powers through Bylaws to a Board then no model of governance is necessary.
Carver's chapter called "Resource B, Bylaws" (p.222) in the 1997 edition of Boards That Make a Difference may be helpful.
