Write a long, nasty, mean-spirited letter to explain everything that they dislike about the church and articulate their own self-pity at length. I joined TNPC last month; however, I still need to write the letter officially terminating my membership at my parents' Methodist Church.Dear Chairman Board of Elders,. I am writing to withdraw my membership from Grace Community Church. I want to discuss how you can respectfully dismiss members from your church when it is necessary. To begin with, let's look at a court case. This letter is my formal resignation from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it is effective immediately. A group shuns when the people in it reject and even erase someone who has belonged. Also called ostracism or social rejection, shunning creates exiles. Churches' membership procedures should reflect the fact that the church, not the individual member, has authority to accept and dismiss members.
