Confirmation service at Holy Spirit Church
Publish Date: 21-Aug-2017
Bishop Timothy Kwok laid hands over fifteen brothers and sisters at a confirmation service on 2 July at Holy Spirit Church. In his homily, Bishop Kwok explained why confirmation is ordinarily administered by bishops. All bishops are part of the apostolic succession, and every one of them can trace his lineage of ordination back to the twelve apostles. Thus, when a bishop confers confirmation, the confirmands are received into not only the family of the Holy Spirit Church or Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, but also the holy catholic Church.
