This ceremony usually occurs around the time the kids are in 8th grade. I'm not sure what it would mean in the eyes of the church if you refused to go through Confirmation, however....i don't think it has the same affect as "un-baptizing" you...but I don't really know. I've never really understood organized religion and it's almost cathartic dependence on ceremony, or more specifically for Christianity, "sacraments". -- Let your soul and spirit fly Into the mystic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
