The current requirement of the RPCNA states: "The deacons should oversee a proposed budget for congregational approval..." (DCG 5.3.B, D-32).
I'm curious on three points:
1. What are the practices of other congregations--especially those in NAPARC--regarding the approval and/or adoption of a budget?
2. Would you classify how a budget is approved as a circumstance of the "government of the Church" (WCF 1.6, see also 31.3)?
3. What is the historic practice among Presbyterian and Reformed churches on this, or where could I go to read more?
