Baptisms and Confirmations
Anglican Chaplaincy, University of Kent
- Do you consider yourself to be a member of
the Church of England?
- Or would you like to become one?
- Were you never Baptised (‘Christened’) or
Confirmed?
- Have you had any problems with the Church,
or do you feel you have drifted away?
Now really is the
time to get things sorted out!
Each year a number of students find that
University is a good place to tackle these things: there is a friendly church
community, and preparation sessions for Baptism and Confirmation (of an
intelligent, straightforward, ‘non cringe-making’ nature) can easily be
arranged, at times which are convenient for you. Since
the Revd Stephen Laird arrived at Kent University (1998) about 33 people have
been Confirmed (undergraduates and postgraduates), 10 of whom were Baptised here in Eliot College
Chapel or at a nearby church beforehand. Confirmation services normally take
place either in the Cathedral or at a local church.
If you
are a Catholic or come from another Christian tradition (e.g. Baptist) suitable
arrangements can also be made.
Please let me know if you are interested. Informal enquiries welcome
