I got an email last week from a pastor who asked about the origins of Confirm not Conform. So consider this the prequel, if you will, to the curriculum you have today.
Lo, in the mists of time, the new priest and the youth minister at an Episcopal Church in the wilds of California were tasked with leading a youth confirmation program. And, as so many clergy discover, they could not find a curriculum to their liking.
I have been avidly following the results from the Confirmation Project’s study of confirmation and related practices, which have all been fascinating – and affirming for us here at Confirm not Conform!
