The answer to all those questions is the same: all those things should occur in the ward where his actual membership record is located.colbyj wrote:Okay, in our Stake Presidency meeting tonight we discussed this, and we were not sure about how the stewardship works out in this situation. If the brother's record remains in the ward where he lives, but his "out of unit" record puts him kind of in limbo. Questions, since his record still resides in his "home" ward:
- where would he pay tithing?
- who would interview him for temple recommend (his "home" Bishop, or the President of the Branch in which his serving in the presidency?)
- for priesthood advancement, he'd need an interview from his Bishop, then stake Presidency... but we're wondering who does the initial interview for him? the branch president or his "home" bishop?
Although you can pay tithing to any unit of the Church, you can only attend tithing settlement in the ward where your actual record is located on December 31, so it makes sense to pay tithing to that ward (the home ward).
His family will continue to have home teachers in the home ward, which is a good thing -- local home teachers will be in a better position to care for the entire household.
