By The Rev. Tyler Montgomery, Bruton Parish, Williamsburg
The William & Mary Canterbury Association was pleased to have
eight students called to receive the sacrament of confirmation this
year. These students all completed a seven-week Christian Formation
course, including a one-on-one session with the Chaplain to discuss and
articulate what it means to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior. In two years, eighteen students have received confirmation and
three students have been baptized; several more students have already
expressed an interest in Christian Formation and sacramental membership
in the Church for the next academic year. It is an exciting time for the
Church! Young adults are evidently interested in "coming and seeing"
what Jesus is doing in this place and in their lives. As ever,
Christianity surprises us in the ways in which it expresses itself, and
it seems that we are seeing a revival of sorts in the midst of our
establishment at Bruton Parish, Williamsburg. For this, we give thanks
to God!
