§ 16:1-18.
Any religious corporation, incorporated by general or special act, may change its
corporate name by a two-thirds vote of those present and entitled to vote at any regular
meeting, or at a special meeting duly called for that purpose in the manner its meetings
are usually called, specifying by such vote the new corporate name. Thereafter the corporation shall be known by the new name, and shall, by the new
name, have, hold and retain all its property, and enjoy the same rights, privileges
and powers and be subject to the same liabilities as if no change had been made. Any change in the number of officers and managers or trustees, and the terms of their
office, which may be considered expedient for the interests of the corporation, may
be made by a majority vote at any regular meeting, and any new departments of religious
work not specified in the act of incorporation may be established and maintained by
a similar vote, at any regular meeting. This section shall not apply to the Protestant Episcopal Church.
