What I'd want:

1.  A commitment that at least 75% of the collection plate/tithes go to help needy people.

2.  A commitment that the church will pay taxes on the fairly assessed value of church property.

3.  Congregation members each devote one hour a week to community service (their choice of who they help and how).

What I'd not want in church rules:

1.  An endorsement of 'conversion therapy'.

2.  An endorsement of public prayer (don't split rabbits on this, we all know what I mean).

3.  An outright condemnation of ANY religion or lack thereof.
