Christian Formation & Education

Preparation for Confirmation

Preparation for adults wishing to be confirmed starts with 'Tokens of Trust' and then moves to more focussed personal consideration.

For children seeking confirmation, separate preparation is offered if, after discussion with parents, this seems appropriate.

Tokens of Trust - exploring Christian Faith

This course of power-point presentations, snacks and discussions is based on the book Tokens of Trust – An introduction to Christian belief by Rowan Williams (Archbishop of Canterbury), which examines some of the main claims of the Christian Creeds from a broad contemporary perspective.

We presented this digest of his book over six sessions to make it possible for people with or without a religious background to consider, without any pressure to come to church, what Christian Faith can mean to people who follow it.

Equally, it is to allow some to bring questions, or things which have ‘turned them off’ Christianity, to see if anything that is said or discussed provides possible answers.

All welcome - attendance free - donations towards refreshments invited.
