Confession and Absolution

Although the practice of private Confession and Absolution with one's pastor has fallen out of use in many Lutheran congregations, this was never Luther's intention. Article XXV of the Augsburg Confession declares, "Confession in the churches is not abandoned among us."

The teachings from the Small Catechism regarding the Office of the Keys and Confession may be found HERE.

A litany for Individual Confession and Absolution from the Lutheran Book of Worship may be found HERE.
