Religion

I think I read about it in an article published by the cathedral in San Francisco. I'll do some digging.

But you can easily just say, "No, thank you," or cross your arms, and not partake of the wine. No biggie. Episcopalian culture is very accommodating, and the essence of good manners is not doing anything that might make people feel uncomfortable. Manners are very important. Most Episcopalian jokes involve thank you notes or gin and tonics.

As far as confession, you can always schedule a private confession if you feel you need one, but the general practice is the group confession. "The things I have done, and the things I have left undone" is engraved in my brain for life.
