THE CHURCH BUSINESS MEETING

This book meets the need for a clear, concise, and readable guide to parliamentary procedure in the church. Recognizing the current trend toward less formality in business meetings, it demonstrates how some matters can be quickly settled by common consent and how motions and amendments are used for other decisions so that the will of the majority will prevail and the rights of the minority will be protected. Errors commonly occurring in church meetings are described and corrected. Help is also given for understanding the more complex parliamentary practices used at conventions that church members may attend.
