Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Laws Relating to Religious Corporations: A Compilation of the Statutes of the Several States in the United States in Relation to the Incorporation and Maintenance of Religious Societies, and to the Disturbance of Religious Meetings The Constitution of the State of New York provides that the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall forever be allowed in this State to all mankind; and no person shall be rendered incompetent to be a witness on account of his opinions on matters of religious belief. But the liberty of conscience thereby secured shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness, or justify practices inconsistent with the peace or safety of this State. A similar provision is contained in the statute of the State known as the Bill of Rights. It will thus be apparent that no church can claim exclusive privilege or establishment in New York. The law does not take cognizance of any church in respect of its doctrinal peculiarity, nor does its denominational character affect its civil rights. The courts may, however, inquire into those matters where questions concerning property call for it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
