Syllabus

<p>Church law — Sale of church building — Removal to more convenient locality.</p> <p>A religious corporation owning a church building has the right, in the absence of any provision in a statute or in its charter to the contrary, to sell the church for .the purpose of rebuilding in another locality more convenient to its members, and the mere fact that the contributors to the fund from which the church was built intended that it should be built where it was, does not in itself involve a condition that the place of worship should not be removed if the best interests of the congregation required a removal.</p>
