The practice of confession is making a comeback, according to a recent WSJ article. Christians of all theological stripes are apparently finding that confessing sin is good for the soul. Much of the new enthusiasm for confession is coming from Protestants, who see confession as a way of introducing accountability and discipline in their church communities and personal lives.
It's an interesting article that dives a bit into the history of confession as a Christian practice. And it's got me wondering:
Do you confess your sins regularly to other people?
If so, who do you confess to--a small group from church? Close friends? Your pastor or priest? Have you ever made a public (as in, standing in front of the whole congregation, or something like that) confession of sin?
If so, why do you do so--and is it something that you've found valuable to your spiritual life?
