The sacrament of Holy Baptism, makes you a member of the Universal Christian Church. The Episcopal Church recognizes all persons who have been baptized with water in the name of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) as Christian. If you were baptized in an Episcopal congregation then, in addition to becoming a member of the Universal Church, you were enrolled as a member of that particular congregation and also became an Episcopalian. All baptized members are encouraged to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, either when they reach maturity or in connection with baptism if they are baptized as adults. In confirmation we express a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. After confirmation, a person is a confirmed communicant. If you were baptized and confirmed in another church you may be Received by a bishop of The Episcopal Church. This makes you a confirmed member of The Episcopal Church. Some who have experienced a renewal of faith or responding to pastoral needs may also reaffirm their baptismal vows. Those who are 16 years of age and older, are confirmed, attend worship and contribute to the work of the church are Communicants in Good Standing, and may vote for the Vestry, run for the Vestry and represent the congregation in the diocese.
