- Title
Confirmation Ministry in the Batak Church.
- Authors

- Abstract
Historically, confirmation ministry among Batak’s took the form of missionaries presenting the Christian religion in an apologetic and persuasive tone, in an effort to ready Batak converts for Baptism. Today, confirmation ministry among Batak Christians is understood as a fleshing out of what it means to be baptized into the church community. This article explores the method and aims of the confirmation rite and ministry among Batak Christians.
