Our church has been in chaos for a while now. It started when we adopted our bylaws. Four Sundays ago there was a called conference to drop the bylaws. The vote passed. Then that night our Preacher resigned effective immediately. He did this from the podium in the fellowship hall that he uses for Wednesday and Sunday night services. There were 9 people present; three of which were deacons (we have 5).The bylaws say there should be 7 members present to constitute a meeting. The next Sunday an "immediate special need" vote was called to accept his resignation. It passed. He wants to rescind it. We now have members that say we can not throw out the bylaws, we can only amend them. We are not incorporated. If we have to go by the bylaws he/we have to give thirty days notice if we feel the need for seperation. We are due to vote again Sunday, what should we vote for; let him rescind his resignation, or reinstatment?
