Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation

Confirmation is laying on of hands by an Episcopal bishop in order to confirm, as an adult, the promises others made for you at your baptism, or to confirm your desire to be a member of The Episcopal Church.

Reception occurs if you have previously been confirmed in another denomination and now wish to become a member of The Episcopal Church.

Reaffirmation occurs if you were previously confirmed as an Episcopalian, but now would like to reaffirm those vows.
