What else can I help you with?
Are bylaws written by the pastor only?
I'm Baptist. In our church, deacons write the bylaws along with the pastor. If for some reason the pastor disagrees then they have a discussion over the matter. then the church as a whole can vote on it in a business meeting. In an independent baptist church the pastor can override any or all deacons if he believes it is following God's will for the church. In a southern baptist church the pastor pretty much has no say over the deacons. He can however put in a "vote" to have deacons removed if he believes they are not follwing the will of God. Bylaws do not change often because they are a huge hassle and it does not really need to be changed often because it should be really close to the Word of God.

Generally, there are more deacons than priests within the Catholic Church. Deacons serve at various levels, including transitional deacons who are in formation for priesthood and permanent deacons who may serve in various capacities without becoming priests. The number of deacons has been increasing in recent years, while the number of priests has been declining in some areas due to various factors, including fewer ordinations and retirements.

Neither may marry after ordination.
