Mormon Resignation
A Guide To Resignation/Name Removal From the Mormon Church
End Process - Name Removal.
|
Once the Stake President has sent the administrative action on to Corporate Headquarters (Membership Records), the LDS Church Membership Records removes your name from the "Active" roles of the LDS Church.
You will receive a confirmation letter from the LDS Corporation that your name has been removed and that if you wish to come back you must contact your local Bishop or Stake President. You will also be notified that your baptism, temple sealings, priesthood or any/all blessings have been also been revoked.
If you requested name removal for your spouse or children, their names will also be listed on the document as having their names removed.
Realize that even though your name has been "removed", you will still be counted among the membership of the LDS Corporation. They will not release any resignation numbers. As for the local Wards, your information will be packaged up and sent to the COB and will no longer exist at a ward level. If you move, no records will be sent to the LDS Ward boundaries that you live in. Realize however that your records will still exist. Anything confessed to a Bishop or Stake President will still be recorded in your files. If for some reason you do decide to go back, you will never be considered as a Bishop or higher.
The Mormon God forgives unconditionally, but the One True Church(tm) never forgets.
That's It! You're done!
If all went well, the process should only take 45-50 days.
