The First Presidency and apostles decide that when members move from one ward to another the bishops of the ward being left should send membership records to the bishop of the ward being moved into. Previously each member had to get a certificate of standing to take to the new bishop. This created."an army of about 10,000 people connected with the church, who have no standing in any of the wards and stakes of Zion" due to failing to get the required certificate.
