Confirmation: Father Matthew Presents the Sacraments

A teaching piece on the anglican/episcopal Rite of Confirmation, one of the sacraments in the Episcopal Church. The third of eight videos that Episcopal priestblogger, the Rev. Matthew Moretz, is producing on the sacraments, the outward and visible signs of the inward and spiritual graces of God. In this video, you can view a typical confirmation class scenario. This will be the third of eight videos in a forthcoming DVD. Father Matthew is the Curate (assistant priest) at Christ's Church (Episcopal), Rye, NY

Is there such a thing as being too old for confirmation, Fr. M?

And...what of those people who were confirmed in another deonomination, but they want to be TEC now? Do they have to be confirmed all over again?

[FatherMatthew]

The answer to both of your questions is, No. If they have been confirmed elsewhere, they can be "received." The confirmation usually counts.

Fr. Matt, it's better not to have a clock on screen, so people can't tell that 3.5 minutes of video time took half an hour.

[FatherMatthew]

Yikes! There goes the continuity. Sigh...

this was a good presentation and funny about confirmation but with the challenges that are going on in the church - I would take out the part about the back hub - it does not lead to a good impression not matter how innocent it looks or may be. God bless I think your work is excellent otherwise - keep up the great job and may God bless you,

Wow aren't you using your gifts to reach others! Love your sense of humour Fr M, I have tears from laughter! A great way to reach others!

[cheesemonkey1990]

yeah, that was funny!

no, TEC should accept you no matter what denomination you are, As for your age, there is no limit, generally it is done in 8th grade, but we confirm adult converts also (At least in the Catholic Church).

I am more humble than you.
