The Small Catechism for Confirmation

[KagomeShuko]

I didn't know of this until it was mentioned in another post. However, it was mentioned that the ELCA seems to be very liberal when it comes to confirmation.

I don't know about all of this, but when I was in confirmation, it was EXACTLY learning about the small catechism and this whole Martin Luther's explanations starting with "what does this mean?" We read that and did work on that.

I know that the youth that have been confirmation age have also had to learn things from the small catechism. Then, when I look at Augsburg Fortress or any of the church's sites when looking at the youth ministry positions information, the stuff that's used for confirmation has always been based upon the small catechism as well.

What has your experience been in such situations?

It's been awhile since I went through confirmation, but I remember that we read the small catechism during it. Unfortunately, I don't remember how deep we got into it, as a lot of the people in my confirmation class were only there because their parents made them.

Sorry if I wasn't too helpful!
