Confirmation
If
anyone is interested in being confirmed, please let me know. There will
be a preparation course. The commitment is actually the same as
Baptism. So, if you have been baptized and are prepared to affirm the promises
made for you at your christening, there is no reason why you should not be
confirmed and every reason why you should. Confirmation candidates might
well profit by attending the Alpha Course, but it is not necessary to do
so. Given that I shall probably be leaving at the end of next year, if
you’d like me to prepare you for confirmation, don’t leave it too long. It’s
something I’d love to do for you. Candidates are not usually admitted
younger than twelve, but there is no upper age limit.
