Fourteen members of All Saints Anglican Church were confirmed recently during a Sunday service at the church in Peachtree City.
The Right Reverend David Anderson of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America conducted the confirmation rite with Michael Fry, rector at All Saints, assisting.
Rather interesting to learn that the Sacrament of Confirmation originated with the Book of Common Prayer.
Some might say that it originated in Acts, Chapter 8, beginning at verse 14:
[blockquote]14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. 15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into[a] the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. [/blockquote]
NW Bob points this out to his baptist friends indicating they need to get with the program and be Confirmed. 🙂
