Baptism, Confirmation, Reception, Reaffirmation
Please fill out this form so I have your contact information as we begin the Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation classes.
Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying of hands by a bishop. Typically, this is for those baptized as infants, as adults, or those not previously confirmed in another tradition.
Reception is the rite by which a bishop recognizes a person previously confirmed in another tradition as a member of The Episcopal Church. This is for those who may have been previously Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or another denomination with Bishops in Apostolic Succession.
Reaffirmation is the rite by which a person reaffirms publically the promises they made at their baptism.
