The
Anglican Church of Canada confirms people of any age who have
come to the stage in their life when they are ready to renew
their baptismal vows and publicly commit themselves to a life
of faith and service as a Christian. This renewal of vows is
particularly important for people who have had their baptismal
vows made on their behalf by their parents and godparents when
they were an infant.
The Affirming of Baptismal Vows in Confirmation is often taken
by young adults, to confirm for themselves what was done for them as
a child. Each
person's spiritual journey is different, however. While some may feel
themselves ready at 13, for others the right time may be at
30, 50, or 80. Baptism is also a sacrament for which people may
be ready at different times of their lives.
Any
adolescent or young person who may be contemplating being confirmed
or baptized as a Christian into the body of Christ is encouraged
to speak to our Incumbent, the Rev. Canon Peter Walker, or the Rev. Mary Lewis, Associate Priest. Confirmation is schedules for this spring and the presiding bishop will be the Right Reverend Ann Tottenham.
