Abstract
  • The thesis tested is that a more purposeful ministry can be carried out in the lives of 9th-grade confirmation students and their parents when their understanding of 'the priesthood of all believers' is positively enhanced through a program of confirmation instruction. An experientially oriented four-session course was developed for 42 ninth-grade confirmands and their parents. Five instructors were trained as small group leaders. A pre-test and post-test was administered to the confirmands and parents, and a follow-up interview was conducted by the two pastors. Conclusions are: 1) Careful attention to educational theory and practice pays dividends; 2) Work with the group leaders was necessary to the success of the program; 3) The evaluative tools provided a focus for the entire study by keeping the work on target; 4) The intergenerational scope of the project was vital to the confirmands' and parents' learning and to the enrichment of their understanding of ministry; 5) A new understanding of 'the priesthood of all believers' enhanced appreciation of their own Christian ministries.
