NSW Church related question

[Vivek Alexander]

Hello,

I am a member of church registered under the Associations Incorporation Act and also registered with ACNC. The church stipulates in its constitution that in order to attend the General Body Meeting, members must confess to a priest. I have the following queries:
1) Can the church impose such a requirement to confess to attend its general body meeting?
2) Is it not a violation of Human Rights?
3) Would such a requirement in the constitution be legally valid under the Associations Incorporation Act and Regulations and fair trade?

Would appreciate a lawyers view in relation to the above plus any insights on this topic.

Thanks and regards,

Vivek

What is a general body meeting exactly?
Perhaps nothing illegal occurs until somebody actually tried to enforce it?

Nothing illegal
Just to discuss about financial affairs and matters like buying land etc
