Members who request no contact
Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2019 8:42 pm
We have a few members who have requested no further contact with the church. What I am looking for are the "best practices" for people in leadership positions.
In several cases the members are hostile to visitors from the church, and we would like to prevent well-meaning but unwelcome contact.
There is a setting in the members profiles that allows them to be viewed by leadership only. Is it possible and appropriate for a leader to adjust this property for members that have requested no contact?
I don't want to force people into removing their records, or specify who to not visit when we do ward-wide visits, letters, or other broadcast efforts. It seems like the privacy setting should allow us to know about but not bother people until they are ready to reach out to us.
Thoughts? I haven't found anything in the handbooks about this topic yet.
