Part Tithe Payer Relinquishing Recommend

What about the individual that doesn’t pay tithing and doesn’t have a recommend – what purpose does it serve for that individual to attend tithing settlement?

Most BPs that I’ve known have been very up front about one of the purposes of tithing settlement being an opportunity to meet with everybody. For them tithing was just an excuse to hold the meeting; the true purpose was personal interaction with all the ward members… and I really do take them at their word.

Glad it worked out for you Shawn.

Me too. In fact, I like that approach from a leader, where the money paid is less important than the relationship they want to build.

There are many many good bishops devoting a lot of time right now. Great sacrifices by their families.

I’m glad it worked out well, too, Shawn, and I’m glad for bishops like yours.
