Actually they were lapsed in 2009, appropriately and correctly by the leadership serving the church at that time , and according to church order. No one failed in their responsibility. The paperwork is all up to date and has been since 2009. My question is about whether it is correct to write a letter of transfer for members whose membership lapsed.
Church order would not have been followed in this scenario. It was well before my time and the details are scarce. I also wonder how it is that the family has attended another CRC for over seven years and the pastor and elders there never helped shepherd this family. Your last two sentences are exactly what would need to be done in this case.
