Those who have not been baptized become members of the church through baptism. Children who are being baptized need sponsors (called godparents.) Sponsors should be active members of a church. Transfer: Those who have already been baptized become members by transferring from another church or denomination. Letters of transfer are requested by the church office on your behalf. Reception: Those who have been both baptized and have made a mature statement of faith in another Christian denomination but who wish to become Episcopalians are received into the church by an Episcopal bishop. Confirmation: Confirmation is an adult affirmation of baptismal vows. The rite of Confirmation involves the laying of hands by an Episcopal Bishop. At St. Margarets, young persons are normally confirmed around the age of 16, after having been part of the formation program, Journey to Adulthood. Through confirmation, teenagers reaffirm the baptismal vows that their parents made for them when they were baptized as infants. Adults who are baptized by an Episcopal bishop are, in effect, baptized and confirmed at the same time. It is not necessary to be confirmed to be an adult member in good standing at St. Margarets. However, confirmation is required for eligibility to vote and to serve in almost all elected offices in the church, and some appointed offices as well.
