Appointment of meeting for worship
As soon as possible after the receipt of the completed form A (and forms B and/or C in the case of those applicants who are not in membership), the registering officer shall, through the clerk of the area or local meeting for church affairs (as the case may be), bring before it the application for the appointment of a meeting for worship (form F). The meeting shall decide whether a meeting for worship may be appointed at the time and place desired by the parties or at any other time and place which may be mutually convenient. If the certificates (16.25-16.26) have not been received, the meeting for worship may be appointed subject to the satisfactory completion of these formalities. The registering officer shall inform one of the parties of the decision of the meeting.
