	    the laws of the States of Missouri and California.  Nest shall 
	    not have the power to incur debt in the name of the Church of 
	    All Worlds.
	    
Section 4:  The Board and Clergy of the Church of All Worlds do not wish to 
	    impose any doctrinal restraints upon local nests beyond the 
	    requirement that their activities be in accord with the 
	    purpose of the Corporation as stated in Article II of these 
	    bylaws.  The board and Clergy in fact encourage creativity and 
	    innovation on the part of all local nests and groups in the 
	    lawful pursuit of the goals of the Church of All Worlds.
	    
Section 5:  The Board of Directors does, however, reserve the right to 
	    revoke either a Chapter or Nest Charter on the recommendation 
	    of either the Council of the Third Ring or the Nest Co-ordinating 
	    Council for one of the following reasons:     
	    
	    A.  The conduct at its meetings and public functions or in its 
	    public statements is found to be incompatible with the purposes 
	    of the Corporation as stated in Article II of these Bylaws, or 
	    contrary to the laws of the United States or the State of 
	    residence of the Nest or Chapter;       
	    
	    B.  The conduct or statements of the Nest or Chapter in its 
	    meetings and public functions or in its public statements, 
	    in the judgement of the Board of Directors, reflects 
	    unacceptable discredit on the Church of All Worlds, its 
	    purposes, members and Clergy;       
	    
	    C.  The Board of Directors has reason to believe -- on 
	    recommendation from either the Council of the Third Ring or 
	    the Nest Co-ordinating Council -- that the chartered group is 
	    not truly functioning as a Nest or Chapter in that the contact 
	    person of that Nest or Chapter does not respond to queries, 
	    show evidence of membership or the holding of regular 
	    meetings or other evidence that the Chartered Nest or Chapter 
	    is, indeed, functioning as a viable organizational unit of the 
	    Church of All Worlds.

	   said councils.
	   
Section 3: The privelege of decision-making at any meeting shall be

	   operate such subsidiary operations, agencies, groups, and 
	   institutions as may be found necessary or expedient adequately to 
	   carry out the purposes of the Corporation.
	   
Section 2: Each subsidiary shall send a representative to serve on the Board 
	   of Directors. The subsidiary representatives shall be responsible 
	   for reporting the activities of the Subsidiary to the Board, and 
	   for relaying information from the Board to each subsidiary. In 
	   addition, the subsidiary representatives shall submit reports to 
	   the Secretary and the Treasurer detailing the activities of each 
	   subsidiary. 
	   
Section 3: Chartering and serving as Directors of subsidiary organizations 
	   is open only to active members of the Church with Scion or Clergy 
	   status.  Under exceptional circumstances, and by special 
	   dispensation of the Board of Directors, a project or provisional 
	   subsidiary may be approved for inception by a Church member of 
	   only 3rd Circle status, conditional upon that person's attainment 
	   of 4th Circle within a year from the date of approval, or the 
	   appointment within that time as a Director of the aforesaid 
	   subsidiary of another active Churcdh member of at least 
	   4th Circle. Subsidiaries should begin as projects or provisional 
	   subsidiaries and be considered for full subsidiary status if 
	   they have been active for two years and two days. Provisional 
	   subsidiaries should send a contact person to the Board of 
	   Directors' meetings.
	   
Section 4: The governance of subsidiaries shall be by Directors and 
	   Councils, the combined total number of which must always be an 
	   odd number, from one to seven, of whom one to three shall be 
	   designated Directors.  Should the subsidiary be authorized to 
	   open a bank or checking account, there shall be three approved 
	   signatories on the account, at least one of which must be a 
	   Scion or Clergy.  Directors of subsidiaries must be Scions or 
	   Clergy, but other members of the subsidiary councils may be any 
	   active members of the Church that the subsidiary Directors wish 
	   to delegate.
	   
Section 5: Decision-making in subsidiary councils should follow the 
	   procedures outlined in Article XI, Section 3 above.
