[quote=Anonymous]I know a number of people who got confirmed as adults including in the Methodist Church. If they aren't feeling it, I think it's appropriate to say "at this time, I can't move forward." You could make them do the confirmation classes with the understanding that the choice at the end will be their own. However, in the case of your DS that sounds like it might push him even farther away. If you want to be strategic maybe send him to a really fun Methodist summer camp. Is he involved in a youth group? It's a tough situation. I think your commitment to a faith community for the spiritual aspect and the community and tradition aspects are a gift to your kids. Having been that agnostic kid, I know that nothing could have made me conform, but as an adult I do wish I had a religious community and tradition to call my own. [/quote]
