I need to know, relatively soon (and just as a favor to a relative), whether there is any law in Pennsylvania relating to whether a religious congregation has the right to overrule a Board of Directors' selection of the congregation's religious leader (minister, priest, rabbi, etc.). If you don't know Pennsylvania law, law from other states will do, as I can then use that as a basis for my own research. My hunch is that everyone is bound to whatever rules are in the institution's constitution, if any, but I vaguely recall that in some states decisions about hiring and firing (or maybe just firing?) religious leaders must be approved by the congregation. I can be reached at deliotb at sign aol dot com.
