On the 13th of October the Lord Chartres GCVO confirmed 12 candidates into the Church of England.
The age range of the candidates, the youngest was 10 and the eldest was 75, showed that individuals are moved to commit to faith at any stage of life.
This deeply prayerful and significant occasion was underpinned by a traditional liturgy that engaged with all.
His Lordship referred to the Three P’s essential to living an authentic Christian life. These are Prayer, Practice and Participation.
It was heartwarming to see each candidate come forward, named individually by the Bishop, anointed with the holy oils and then make their promises of Christian commitment.
The photographs capture the solemn beauty of the occasion.
We were extremely privileged and blessed to have Lord Chartres with us and I hope that we can welcome him again next year. If you would like to be confirmed simply contact the Chaplain via his email address:
