Am I considered a confirmed member at St. Andrew’s Church?
When someone confirmed in one Episcopal parish moves to another parish, their “letter” is still at the former parish. In order to be considered a “confirmed member” of the new parish, the person needs to let the new parish’s Membership Secretary know that they want “to have their letter transferred.” What does it mean to be received? When a person has been confirmed in another Christian denomination, but now wants to become an adult member of the Episcopal Church, the Bishop recognizes their baptism and their confirmation, and welcomes them into our denomination, just as though they had been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. Anyone who is received is then put on the parish rolls as though they had been confirmed here, or had their “letters” transferred. Can any member—confirmed, received, or neither—participate in every activity of the church? All members can participate fully in the services, sharing in the Holy Eucharist and the rest of the service; can be part of all the social act
