These rules and regulations may be adopted, amended or rescinded at any meeting of the Session by a two-thirds vote of the Session. The Session may establish and/or discontinue Ministries and Special Committees as it deems appropriate. The Clerk of the Session is an Elder elected by the Session. The Session consists of twelve elders, chosen by the members of St. Andrew church, and the Pastor, who serves as Moderator of the Session. All members including the Pastor are entitled to vote. |
