N.Y. Religious Corporations Law § 110: Decision by a Reformed Dutch or Reformed Presbyterian church as to system of incorporation and government

§ 110. Decision by a Reformed Dutch or Reformed Presbyterian church as

to system of incorporation and government. The minister or ministers, if

there be any, and the elders and deacons of an unincorporated church in

connection with the Reformed church in America, the true Reformed Dutch

church in the United States of America, or with the Reformed

Presbyterian church, may determine to incorporate such church in

pursuance of this article, or to call a meeting of such unincorporated

church for the purpose of deciding whether such church shall be

incorporated in pursuance of article ten of this chapter, entitled

"Special provisions for the incorporation and government of churches of

other denominations."

If such ministers, elders and deacons determine to call such meeting

for such purpose, then such church may be incorporated and shall be

governed after its incorporation in pursuance of the provisions of

article ten of this chapter, except such provisions thereof as are

applicable to churches of a single denomination only, and except that

the notice of the meeting for incorporation shall be signed by such

ministers, elders and deacons or a majority of them, and no other

signatures thereto shall be necessary to its validity; and, if it be a

Reformed church in America, it shall, after incorporation, be governed

by such of the provisions of this article as relates to its consistory

and to the choice of its minister.
