Part of the Confirmation tradition at the churches is that the kids have to write faith statements. There’s a specific format (mostly to help the kids write it):

Paragraph 1: Your Baptism: what happened and what brought you to this place?
Paragraphs 2-4: Looking at the Apostle’s Creed, explain what you believe about the Father (Paragraph 2), Son (Paragraph 3), and Holy Spirit (Paragraph 4).
Paragraph 5: How do you live out your life as a Christian?
Paragraph 6: How are you connected to the Body of Christ?

I get to start reading these in March and I’m wondering if *I* could write a statement like this. Religion and faith are notoriously hard things to talk openly about in our society and I might have to write something like that for the faith section of my personal website.

Anyone want to take the challenge my confirmands are getting and write one too? Post your answers (and links) in the comments.
