"In an ordinary high school auditorium on a Sunday morning in April, 120 people took turns kneeling before three bishops in Madison, Wisconsin. It was Christ Church Madison's first-ever confirmation service—and possibly the largest, single confirmation group in the history of the Anglican Church in North America."
