Did any of you ever write a letter to the Church, to ask to be taken off the membership roles? I ask because I volunteered in a Church office for a while, and we got a letter like that, and complied with the writer’s wishes.
On the other hand, my husband was a Methodist Church organist for a while, and during his tenure, they “purged” the church roles of all inactive members. They did that so they would have a smaller group for sending their apportionments payments.
I did. That was in the Archdiocese of St.Paul/Mpls when Archbishop Roach was in charge. But I found out later that it only affected me, not the rest of my family.
