Confirmation education in the post modern church must meet the diverse needs of learners in a multifaceted church and society. Through an ethnographic study of church members, colleagues, and youth, I study how confirmation classes were taught. I trace changes from a modern to a post modern church and show why ways of teaching confirmation using limited methods no longer work in our post modern church. I examine Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, apply his theory both to classroom teaching and to theological methods and metaphors, and begin to develop- a confirmation program using multiple intelligence theory and multiple theologies. Through the witness of young people taught in confirmation classes using multiple intelligence theory and multiple theologies, I show that this method makes confirmation class a significant time in their faith journeys, that relationships with others and God are developed, and that young people are incorporated into the church.
