§ 111. Decision by Lutheran church as to system of incorporation and
government. A meeting for the purpose of incorporating an unincorporated
Evangelical Lutheran church must be called and held in pursuance of the
provisions of article ten of this chapter, except that the first
business of such meeting after its organization, shall be to determine
whether such church shall be incorporated and governed in pursuance of
this article, or in pursuance of article ten of this chapter. If such
meeting determines that such church shall be incorporated and governed
in pursuance of this article, then no further proceedings shall be taken
in pursuance of article ten, and such church may be incorporated and
shall be governed after its incorporation in pursuance of the provisions
of the following sections of this article, except such provisions as are
applicable only to churches of a different denomination; and the
certificate of incorporation shall recite such determination of such
meeting. If such meeting determine that such church shall be
incorporated and governed in pursuance of article ten of this chapter,
then this article shall not be applicable thereto, but such church may
be incorporated and shall be governed after its incorporation in
pursuance of the provisions of article ten of this chapter, except such
provisions as are applicable to churches of a single religious
denomination only.
