CONFIRMATION The period of preparation lasted from October until March - it consisted of one class each week. The day of Confirmation arrived and most of the boys being Confirmed had parents or relations attending. There was one boy who had already been Confirmed who attended the classes and was renewing his vows. The Bishop who was just recently consecrated Bishop was most impressive in his Robes and carrying his Shepherd ' s Crook which he explained was symbolic of his official role as Bishop of his flock. His address was very informed and more relaxed than we expected. The Bishop explained that he had been in his office that morning writing letters and he had finished each one with the words Keep in touch . That, he said, is my text Keep in touch - with God, with your parents, with yourself, and with your friends. The moment of Confirmation when we knelt in pairs in front of the Bishop to receive his Blessing was the climax and awe inspiring. I think that Confirmation was a very big step in my life but as Canon McClelland kept reminding us it is not an end but a beginning. I, for one, will certainly try to keep in touch.
