Meetings of the Church: To be added to the beginning of: Section V.

Meetings of the Church Electronic Meetings of the Church, whether a Special Congregational Meeting, or Annual Meeting of the Congregation, may occur when calling a face-to-face meeting is impractical, or when circumstances to meet face-to-face are inadvisable (e.g., pandemic, dangerous weather conditions, etc.). Electronic meetings may occur in conjunction with face-to-face meetings (“hybrid meetings”) when necessary. The Call for Electronic and hybrid meetings shall be the same as for a face-to-face meeting, and must be announced to the Congregation in advance in the same manner as a face-to-face meeting, including what necessary information may be necessary to attend the meeting whether in person or electronically. There shall be no distinction between active members of the Congregation who attend the meeting in person, and those who attend electronically. All decisions of the Congregation, whether they are adopted in a face-to-face meeting, electronic meeting, or hybrid meeting are considered actions of the Congregation.
