Sigurd Barrett would like to send this year's confirmation candidates out into the world with a stack of good advice - he should consider not doing that.

This year's confirmations are approaching. So are the stacks of good advice from well-meaning adults who want to send the young confirmands safely out into the world with a wise book on their backs. They should consider not doing that. Young people need something completely different.

Confirmation will be held in Bremnes Church on Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th. The confirmands will be divided into three groups, one on Saturday and one group on Sunday.
