Excerpt from The Apostolic Rite of Confirmation: Being the Substance of Two Sermons Preached Before His Congregation, on Sunday, January 27, 1867
The doctrine of Baptisms and laying-ou-oi-hands. Heb. Vi. 2.
We have come, my Brethren, for the first time, in our new parish, to a season when the Rite of Confirmation is about to be administered. Although from its frequency - a happy improve ment on bygone days - people seem now somewhat better informed than hitherto Of its nature and its Obligations, yet it is Obviously the duty Of your Minister not to let so important an event in our church-proceedings pass by without the notice it deserves. Besides this, it were only what may be expected by those, who, as parents Of families, are interested in the Christian profession Of the younger members, who, we presume, have been brought up in the nurture and admonition Of the Lord, as well as by the young persons themselves, some of whom may now be 'hesitating, and shrinking from coming forward to avow their determination to be for ever the servants and sogdiers Of the lord jesus christ it were only, I say, what may be expected from your minister that he should explain the meaning of the Ordinance, state the authority on which it rests, and enforce its obligations on ail who have not yet been partakers of its benefits. To these points may be added a few remarks regarding the zdtfi'erences of its administration in the various branches Of the Catholic Church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the Confirmation rite in the Anglican Church, presenting arguments for its scriptural basis, its observance in the Early Church, and its continuance in the present day. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the various positions taken by different branches of Christianity, including the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Anglican churches. The book explores the historical evidence for the practice of Confirmation in the Early Church, drawing on the writings of the Church Fathers and the records of early Christian councils. It argues that Confirmation was originally associated with Baptism and was seen as a separate but complementary sacrament. The author traces the development of Confirmation over the centuries, showing how it was gradually separated from Baptism in the Western Church and became a distinct sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church. The book also examines the theological significance of Confirmation, arguing that it is an important rite of passage for young Christians, marking their entry into full membership of the church. The author discusses the role of the bishop in Confirmation, the nature of the Holy Spirit, and the promises made by the candidates. The book concludes by emphasizing the importance of Confirmation in the life of the church, as a means of strengthening the faith of young Christians and equipping them for the challenges of Christian living.
