We similarly only include this info as part of our rental policy.
In thinking about this it likely isn't a requirement to be in the constitution since the constitution references the Church Order which includes Article 69 c. on only performing marriages that are not "in conflict with the Word of God."
Similarly, the pastor is actually the one that is performing the ceremony with the building rental as the location. The church itself doesn't do the marrying - just hosting the pastor during the ceremony. I realize that's maybe an oversimpligication but I think it gets to the heart of the matter.
You could have also thrown "You're" in the title - that's one of my favourites (and no, that's not a second typo, I'm Canadian ;)
Our website has a similar mix of staff postings so I've tried to review the site every so often to see if I can spot any typos. We have a date stamp on pages so I'm hoping to use that to see who has updated things recently, once I've done a good sweep of the site. Thanks for the article.
