Section C-3.6. Termination of Membership.
A church or fellowship upon written notification to the Association may withdraw from the Association at any time. The Board of Trustees may terminate the membership of any congregation that, pursuant to the provisions of Section C-3.5, has been placed in an "inactive congregation" category maintained by the Association but shall do so only after consultation with:
- the local congregation in question, whenever possible;
- the President of the district in which the congregation is located or such other authorized official as the district designates in writing to the Association; and
- the trustee representing the district in which the congregation is located.
Note
Article XV of the Bylaws requires that certain Bylaws (designated by a “C” in front of the section number) can be amended only by action of two successive regular General Assemblies. The 2011 General Assembly gave preliminary approval to amendments to several of these “C” Bylaws. The amendments will be on the agenda of the 2012 General Assembly; a 2/3rds vote will be required for their final adoption. The proposed amendments are set out here (PDF).
