Confirmation

If confirmation follows an infant baptism it marks the point at which someone is ready to affirm for themselves their commitment to living a life centred on following Christ.

Each person seeking confirmation, the candidate, renews the promises made on their behalf at their baptism and sometimes tells the congregation a little about their journey of faith so far. Then the Bishop will pray and lay hands on the confirmation candidate, asking the Holy Spirit to give them the strength to live as a committed Christian.

It is usual for a confirmation service to be followed by a service of Holy Communion and candidates will take communion - many for the first time.
