       Article 7: Revisions and Amendments
       A. The constitution may be amended, including any by-laws, by a
       two-thirds majority vote of those delegates present at a stated
       Synod meeting of the Alliance.  However, votes maybe taken on an
       amendment or revision by other means at the discretion of the
       Executive Committee provided that those means have been made
       clear at the time of circulation of the amendment.  If a vote is
       held at a stated meeting, none may vote by any other means or by
       proxy.
       B. Proposed amendments must be circulated to the membership one
       month before the vote will take place. Proposed amendments must
       be advanced for consideration to the Executive Committee by a
       member church, or by a minimum of three eligible members of the
       association in order to be considered by the Association, or
       from a Regional Classis.  The Executive Committee is responsible
       for circulating the proposed amendments that have been properly
       advanced.  The Executive Committee itself may also advance an
       amendment for consideration.
