st
and will be
Confirming, Reaffirming
and
Receiving
those who wish to make a commitment of faith within the Episcopal Church context. Please contact Jenifer at r
evjenifer@st.wilfridschurch.org
if you are interested. The dates for the classes will be posted at the end of August.
In the Episcopal Church, we don’t re-baptize those who have already been baptized. When we are baptized, we are baptized into the Body of Christ and not a denomination. This does not need to be repeated. How then can one deepen their commitment?
Confirmation
After one is baptized, confirmation is the next step. It is a public affirmation of faith and a commitment to the responsibilities of Baptism within the Episcopal Church context.
Reception
is common for people who have been active throughout their lives in other denominations. Often, individuals who made a public profession of faith, or who were confirmed in a faith tradition such as the Baptist Church or Catholic Church will choose to be
Received
into The Episcopal Church.
Reaffirmation
means that you choose to re-state your commitment to Christ in The Episcopal Church, honoring your growth in faith throughout your spiritual journey. This is for those who have already been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. For many people, their path has wandered in and out of various denominations. Reaffirmation is a way to honor their journey and their previous public commitment as an adult while also making this definitive sacramental gesture.
