Reception of Communicants of Other Churches

Those episcopally confirmed in another Christian Church can formally be received into full membership of the Church of England by the Area Bishop, or by the Incumbent acting in the Bishop's name. After due preparation, the reception should take place when the Bishop is visiting the parish for a Confirmation or other service. Details of the reception should be recorded in the register of Confirmations, and signed or countersigned by the Bishop. Those who are not episcopally confirmed in another Christian Church should be presented for confirmation by the Bishop in the normal way. The order for reception should follow that of Common Worship Initiation services pp.103ff. or 174ff.
