Ask a parliamentarian
June 15, 2006
As I say in <<Author>>, I am not a licensed parliamentarian, but I have a fair amount of experience. Use the comments here to ask a question. I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction.

I am a board member for a religious org.. There is an important motion that affects a good number of congregants that needs to be presented at a board meeting in order to have it brought before the congregation for a vote at the quarterly cong. meeting. There are those more well versed in Robert’s Rules that would love to prevent this from happening at our next board meeting. How do I ensure that a motion is allowed to be presented and discussion is not stifled. I know I can attempt to add it to the agenda but if that fails I will make my motion in new business but what can I expect from those out to foil my plans. They are smart & tricky. Thanks!!

I have a question. If a vote is taken, counted, and announced, then 2 additional votes “”"are found”"” afterwards that change the outcome, can these votes be counted or does a new vote need to take place?
Thank you. Our church’s souls depend on this.

I am the Chairman of the Deacon Board as we as in charge of the church in the absent of a Pastor. About 4 months ago the church voted in an interim pastor. I believe he is who GOD has sent to us being we have had several church prayer meeting for this purpose. He is doing very well and the church seem to be growing and moving in the right direction. He preaches from the Old Testiment and some of our official have taken offense to some of the time he preach about such as weak leadership in the church and and where the Trustee’s stand in according to GOD’s Holly Word. The congreagation seem to be very happy with him and not there is a recommedation from the official board to terminate his contract and there is also a motion from on the floor to make him the pastor. How do I handle this. For to me this battle in not mind its the Lord. What do I do about the motion. Keep in mind also we just elected a Pastoral Search Team.
