Yes they do for they are still members of the church even though the church employs them. Church employment is no different to having a job outside of the church. I was organist and musical director in a church for 17 years - a paid position through a sizable honorarium. There was no problem in me being on the council, and I had full voting rights. The only time I left a meeting out of courtesy was when I was actually the object of discussion - e.g. if the council reviewed my pay. I then slipped out of the room for that agenda item only, so that I could not be seen to bias the vote, nor be accused of voting myself a payrise!. At such times, the minutes recorded my vote as an abstention. Otherwise, there was absolutely no problem me being their and my opinions were always greatly valued. == Whether they can vote in a different capacity depends on the constitution and/or bylaws of that church.
