with the financial and business affairs of the church.
The ecclesiastical affairs of the church
will
continue
to be controlled and directed by its duly authorized
ecclesiastical author!.ties, notwithstanding the authority
of the receiver to terminate or suspend persons from
e.t:i.ployment as already ordered.
Such termination or suspension from employment
shall in no
way
affect the membership or standing in

for a resolution of that dispute, and that dispute will
be resolved by the court.

such counsel so employed may thereafter
apply for reasonable compensation from the church funds
to the court, and
the
court will make an order for reasonable
attorney's fees, if they are justified under the circumstances.

books and records of the church. but those books and
records shall be made available for the use of the employees
of the church in the carrying out of all their duties.
