Why do people get confirmed in the Church of England?

People get confirmed in the Church of England as a public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the Christian community. Confirmation is typically seen as a rite of passage where individuals, often adolescents, confirm the promises made at their baptism, usually made by parents or godparents. It signifies the individual's readiness to take on greater responsibilities within the church and to partake fully in its sacraments, particularly the Eucharist. Additionally, confirmation often provides an opportunity for spiritual growth and deeper understanding of the Christian faith.
