Abstract

This project proposes to expand current understanding of confirmation so it can be practiced as an ongoing celebration of baptism throughout the life cycle, and not as a one-time, privatized graduation affair. The project presents a holistic model that is inclusive of the entire faith community, supported by historical, theological, and educational research. A confirmation inventory examines how this proposal would be received within church congregations. Evaluation demonstrates a strong desire to reform confirmation to include repeatable baptismal affirmation opportunities at every age. The project offers three possible curriculum designs to implement confirmation as a lifelong learning venture.
