SECTION 1. The Convention shall meet annually at such time and place as may be provided by Canon or by the Convention. Special meetings may be called by the Bishop, or, if there is no bishop, by the Standing Committee. The ecclesiastical authority, in case of urgent need, shall have the power to change the time and place, or both, of meetings of the Convention upon giving due notice.
SECTION 2. Except as herein otherwise provided, at all annual and special meetings of the Convention, a quorum for the transaction of business shall consist of one-half (1/2) of the clerical and one-half (1/2) of the lay delegates entitled to voting membership in the Convention; provided that at least one-half (1/2) of the ecclesiastical parishes entitled to representation in the Convention be represented by a lay delegate. Less than a quorum may adjourn.
SECTION 3. The clerical and lay members of the Convention shall deliberate in one (1) body in all cases and on ever occasion and, except as herein provided, the majority votes of members present shall decide. A vote by orders upon any resolution or motion shall be taken upon the demand of any ten (10) members of the Convention; but there shall be no vote by orders on any election save at the election of the Bishop. Whenever a vote by orders is called, each voting member of the Convention shall be entitled to one vote in the order, clerical or lay, of the said member, and the concurrent majority vote of both orders on the same ballot shall be necessary for adoption of said resolution or motion.
