Which means the confirmand will be given directions on things to do, and questions to reflect on, which will help them get started in their writing.
This journal is a guided journal.
The Confirmand\'s Journal is a place where an individual can write down highlights, memories, and details of their confirmation journey.
This time-tested approach has been extensively revised and updated for usage in today\'s churches that take seriously Christ\'s command to be engaged in disciple making.
Using an "apprenticeship" approach to confirmation Will Willimon produced a series of learning experiences where adult mentors and confirmands are both teachers and learners at the same time.
This is a confirmation program that is more like a process and less like a reading assignment, more engaging and congruent with the nature of the Christian faith than existing programs.
It can be used as a stand-alone program, or in conjunction with your current curriculum as a special experiential unit.
