Report of the Joint Committees of the Two Branches of the Presbyterian Church
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns a report on property, vested rights, and related matters arising from a potential reunion between the Old and New Schools of the Presbyterian Church. The report is based on an investigation of documents related to the Presbyterian General Assembly, including those related to property ownership and control, as well as charters of churches, and devises and bequests. The investigation found that the various corporations and entities connected with the New School General Assembly were established with the purpose of holding and controlling property for the benefit of the Assembly. These entities were subject to the direction and control of the Assembly, which in turn had the power to appoint and remove their members. The report examines the potential effects of a reunion on such property, considering both property held directly by the General Assembly and property held in trust for specific purposes. The author argues that there are no legal obstacles to a reunion based on the grounds of charitable trusts, and that the reunion would not result in a forfeiture of property. The report also addresses the issue of specific trusts, where property has been granted with conditions or restrictions that may be affected by a reunion. The author concludes that each case must be decided on its own merits, based on the specific language of the trust and the intentions of the grantor. The report concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of a reunion, arguing that it would be consistent with the historical development of the Presbyterian Church and would promote its unity and strength. The report's insights provide valuable guidance for the Presbyterian Church as it navigates the potential for reunion and the related legal and practical considerations.
