What this episode covers

Richard Osmer takes us inside the findings of the Confirmation Project, a study on confirmation practices in five major North American denominations. In thinking of the purpose and practice of confirmation, Osmer discusses the greatest influences on young people’s faiths, the role of mentors, how the pedagogy in confirmation classes has shifted, and the long-term impact of experiences of authentic Christian community, such as confirmation retreats and camps, on the developing faith of young people.
