§  58.  Meetings  of  trustees.  Meetings  of  the  trustees  of  such  incorporated church shall be called  by  giving  at  least  three  days'  notice  thereof  in  writing,  served  personally  or by mail to all the  trustees, unless, by a regularly adopted  standing  resolution  a  fixed  date  for  such  meeting  is the approved order, in which case a written  notice may be dispensed with. To duly constitute such regular or special  meeting of the trustees for the transaction of business, at any  meeting  lawfully  convened,  there  shall  be  present  a majority of the laymen  trustees,  the  rector  or  vicar  of  the  church,  the  clerk  of  the  corporation   and   either   the   bishop   who  is  the  ecclesiastical  administrator, the vicar-general or the chancellor of  the  Metropolitan  Synod  Apostolic  Episcopal  Church.  But if the church has no rector or  vicar, at least one of the trustees who is a warden must be present.  If  either  the  bishop,  vicar-general or the chancellor cannot be present,  the bishop who is the ecclesiastical administrator may send his proxy to  one of the laymen trustees. No  act  or  procedure  other  than  regular  routine  matters in regard to the administration of the temporal affairs  of the church and for the care of the property of  the  corporation,  as  included in the budget items, shall be valid without the sanction of the  bishop and ecclesiastical administrator of the synod or diocese to which  the  church  belongs; nor shall the trustees, without the consent of the  corporate meeting incur debts for items  not  provided  in  the  adopted  budget.  Trustees  of  such  incorporated  church shall have no power to  call, settle or remove a minister or to  fix  his  salary;  or  to  fix,  change  the time, nature or order of the public or social worship, rites  and  religious  observances  of  such  church  which  are  or  shall  be  established by the governing ecclesiastical body.
