In this episode of Faith Unraveled, we discuss the topic of church records, and how the church will try to track you down wherever you are, as long as you're a member of record! The conversation includes insights from Jamie, a "retired" ward clerk; his experiences, specifically how church records are maintained, how local wards track members' locations, and the methods used to keep members' information updated. We'll also provide some tips and detailed steps on how to formally remove your name from church records through quitmormon.org, including legal and logistical considerations.
