CHAPTER X THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CHURCH p.549 One of the more recent boards created by the General Conference is that of trustees in general for the property of the United Brethren Church as a whole. This board was formed by the conference of 1889. The intent and scope of the board are indicated in the paper adopted by the General Conference providing for its organization. This paper was a part of a general report from the Committee on Church Incorporation, of which Rev. D. R. Miller was chairman: Your committee fails to find any statutory provision for the incorporation of the Church in its entirety; but that legal recognition and protection of the General Conference and its property may be secured by the election and incorporation of a Board of Trustees for the conference. We therefore recommend: That the General Conference elect for and in behalf of itself a Board of Trustees consisting of twelve persons, who shall hold their office for four years, or until their successors are elected, who are hereby authorized and directed to secure the needed articles of incorporation at the earliest moment after the adjournment of the conference. This paper was approved by the General Conference, and the Board of Trustees as provided for was elected. One of the objects for which this board exists is to receive such money or other property as may come to the Church by bequest or otherwise, without definite provision as to the purpose contemplated by the donors, or the naming of the board of trustees or other persons to whose care the bequests are to be intrusted. The powers of the board do not in any way conflict with the rights and powers p.550 of any other boards of the Church, either general or local. The board as elected by the conference of 1889 consisted of the following persons : Rev. D. R. Miller, B. F. Witt, Judge J. A. Shauck, Rev. William McKee, Rev. W. J. Shuey, Rev. B. F. Booth, Bishop N. Castle, Bishop J. Dickson, Bishop E. B. Kephart, Rev. J. L. Luttrell, John Dodds, and Bishop J. Weaver. |
