Our Stake Patriarch's name, ordained on 11-8-2009, shows up on our MLS, but the date does not.
How do we put this date in or does this happen in SLC?
I have went to the Patriarch position, but does not seem to allow me to input anything on the Patriarch.

The ordination of a patriarch is not recorded on a membership record, or in MLS (this was recently discussed in the thread Ordination to the office of Patriarch). Once approved to serve in a stake by the Quorum of the Twelve (either as a newly ordained patriarch or as a nonfunctioning patriarch who is returning to functioning status, perhaps because he moved to a different stake), he is sustained by the stake members. It does seem like MLS should allow the recording of that sustained date on the calling in the "Patriarch" organization.barnold wrote:Our Stake Patriarch's name, ordained on 11-8-2009, shows up on our MLS, but the date does not.

However, since the patriarch is a Tier 1 calling, it goes through a different process from regular stake callings. When the stake submits a Leader and Unit Change request for other callings, they specify an "Active Date," but there is no such field for a patriarch. That seems like an oversight in MLS.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Perhaps because there's no "time limit" for that calling?Alan_Brown wrote:When the stake submits a Leader and Unit Change request for other callings, they specify an "Active Date," but there is no such field for a patriarch. That seems like an oversight in MLS.
