Out of Unit Bishop
Posted: Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:07 am
Hi,
We have just sustained in the Stake an Out of Unit Bishop - I was wondering if anyone has experience with what the correct procedure is of updating MLS so that I ensure we can get the new Bishop up and running asap. We have changed out a number of Bishops recently so I am familiar with the process, but the Out of Unit aspect on this one is a curve ball
Steps followed:
1. Stake MLS updated for New Ward Leader. Any member of the stake can be selected there so no issue.
2. Ward MLS - no visibility to anyone outside of the unit so could only update the Bishopric Counsellors.
In the Help file it says that we should add an Out of Unit member to the Ward MLS then the callings can be assigned however I didn't want to duplicate the effort as this calling is handled by Area Office as opposed to normal Ward Callings.
Does anyone know if we need to follow this Out of Unit membership record creation step? or does the Area MSR team sort that out?
Thanks for any assistance provided.
Chris
