The articles of any such ecclesiastical corporation may be amended at any meeting of the members of such corporation called for that purpose pursuant to the bylaws, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members entitled to vote thereon present at such meeting, unless a different majority is required by the rules of discipline or by the church policy in any particular case, and it shall be the duty of the person or persons controlling the temporal affairs of such corporation to make, sign and acknowledge in the same manner that the original articles were made, signed and acknowledged, a certificate, containing the name of the corporation, a copy of the call for the meeting at which the amendment was made, the number of members present at such meeting, the number of members voting in favor of the amendment and a copy of the amendment; and such certificate of amendment shall be filed in the same manner that the original articles were filed, and upon such filing the amendment shall be effective. Where the system of discipline or polity in any particular denomination or church requires the action, consent or vote of a conference, conclave or synod, presbytery or other body, or the approval of certain officers of such conference or other body or of a bishop or other hierarchical officer, to such amendments, then all such amendments shall be made in conformity to such practice and requirements and shall in all other respects conform to the customs, usages, beliefs and discipline of the particular church body concerned.
