I made it through confirmation, without there being any earthquakes, or bolts of lightning!;)
It was a great event! It was at St. Anthony of Padua in Hackensack NJ, Bishop Skilton of South Carolina officiated. Guests included the retired Bishop of Cuba, his brother (a Deacon I belive), and three Nigerian priests, from an Anglican mission church in Somerset. The church was packed, and needed some folding chairs set up in the back. The service took place in English & Spanish, and a prayer in the language of Nigeria. Fortunately there were enough adults being confirmed or received, that a 6 foot 42 year old didn't stand out TOO MUCH, among the youngsters;). The service was soo energetic, you hardly noticed that it took over 2 hours.
