Should we pursue members who are leaving the church? - Outreach & Evangelism

Every pastor faces this. People leave. The people left think the pastor should chase them and convince them to come back, or at least find out why they left. Truth be told people's hearts have left months before their butts have. They're aren't likely coming back. Grieve their loss and let them go to be blessed elsewhere (or to be a thorn in someone else's side).
