  An all-in-one volume sharing the history, practice, and viewpoints of Confirmation in
  the Episcopal Church and the first book on the subject for at least 15 years

  * Resolutions regarding Confirmation are coming to the 2015 General Convention

  * Includes questions for reflection and study by individuals and groups

  Many clergy and educators would say that the rite of Confirmation in the Episcopal
  Church today is a sacrament in search of a meaning. Some believe Confirmation is an
  essential rite of passage for adult leadership in the governance of the church. Some
  believe it is a rite that no longer has a place in the life of the church, understanding the
  importance that Baptism now holds in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer’s ecclesiology.
  Following a history of how the rite of Confirmation came about and its implications for
  youth and adults in the church today, voices in the Episcopal Church (bishops, liturgical
  scholars, confirmation leaders, and youth themselves) offer fresh viewpoints here in a
  conversational format to engage the reader.

  AUDIENCE: For bishops, priests, deacons, seminarians, youth leaders, Christian
  educators, parents.
