Bill Matthews illegal changes filed on 10/11/95

1 2 3 4 5 6

Notes

In order to effect changes to the Corporate Articles, proper notice and full
disclosure of those changes must be given to all members of the congregation.
These minimum notice and disclosure requirements are located in Article XV of
the Articles and also in Minnesota Law at Chapter 317A.

Notice of the above changes was not provided in accordance with Article XV
and Minnesota Law. No disclosure of any of the above changes were made by
Mr. Matthews. No vote by the members of any of the above changes were made.

The July 11, 1995 meeting was called illegally without explanation on short
notice. No vote was taken on any Article change. A simple resolution to explore
changes that would be needed to disaffiliate with the Assembly of God ministries
was taken. Even that was not legal since Article XV was violated. Minnesota
law provides that when proper notice is not given, that all action is "null and
void."

Now compare the first set of Articles with this last set. You will observe that
Mr. William N. Matthews has indeed committed fraud and has stolen the Elk
River Assembly of God Church. First, from the Assembly of God Ministries and
then second, from its own congregation.
