Incorporation Sunday – Edwards Interfaith Chapel

We look forward to seeing you every Sunday after our Edwards Worship Service in the library of the Edwards Interfaith Chapel for an hour of training for confirmation followed by an incorporation celebration on Sunday, November 3rd. We will present you with a bible and prayer book after the celebration.

What is Confirmation?

The sacramental rite in which the candidates “express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop” (BCP, p. 860). Those who were baptized at an early age and those baptized as adults without laying on of hands by a bishop are expected to make a mature public affirmation of their faith, recommit themselves to the responsibilities of their baptism, and receive laying on of hands by a bishop (BCP, p. 412). Adults baptized with the laying on of hands by a bishop are considered to be confirmed.

Minimum age: should be at least 15 or a rising 10th grader
