This is such a good post. One of hour late...Mark,<br /><br />This is such a good post. One of hour later blog posts hyperlinked back to this and here I am. I wished I read this earlier.<br /><br />But I covered something similar in our study on the Augsburg Confession. Is in the part titles, "The sticky wicket of confirmation."<br /><br />http://sothl.com/2014/06/08/augsburg-confession-articles-13-14/<br /><br />Rich FutrellRichsheri1https://www.blogger.com/profile/14169481100438455716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447271489594435093.post-63109755322196075832014-03-16T05:06:29.397-07:002014-03-16T05:06:29.397-07:00Brian, I am glad this proved helpful.

As I recall, in the time after Nicea they assimilated to the practice elsewhere and added anointing after baptism.

I had forgotten that the LSB Agenda made such a reference to the anointing with oil.<br /><br />As I was doing research, I discovered that the earliest references to the anointing seem to place it prior to the water, and even seem to place more significance in it than in the water.<br /><br />Also in my research, I seem to recall that "chrism" is used in the Roman church technically to apply to oil which has been consecrated (normally by a bishop). I think it also normally had something fragrant added to it according to a particular recipe.<br /><br />I am glad to see you are incorporating this ancient tradition within the modern rite. I am suggesting its use also in the Rite of Confirmation.Brian Whittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360233522788122793noreply@blogger.com
