yes and no, they say a lot "the government doesnt require us to do yearly reporting, so we wont do it, no matter what" its a very common sentiment - Truman Jun 28, 09:31 3
- Then you are in the wrong church. Ours is fully open for finances and publish the budget and quarterly updates for any member. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:34 2
  - yours is the outlier, not the norm. maybe you havent been to enough to seen that, and i am happy you found that sort of place - Truman Jun 28, 09:37 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 09:40
do churches have like BoD or BoT? because if only the pastor is making decisions, there *is* no governance. -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 09:27 3
- depends on the chuch type probably. most baptist groups have deacons, or similar, and have a few "boards" - Truman Jun 28, 09:33
- They should. Again, that's a problem with governance of the church. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:32 1
  - look, all i think is that they should have to file some sort of informational return. - Truman Jun 28, 09:35
