Which Christian traditions include the rite of confession? I know Roman Catholic does, but I don't know which (if any) others do. I was thinking about it context of an upcoming project.

I've considered it in passing, but that would truly be a last resort. Lutherans are truly Protestant and not Catholic in any sense. They do not have Holy Orders in Apostolic Succession (with the exception of a few tiny splinter groups which I don't think are even in the US) and don't think that's important. It would be as much of a theological change from Anglicanism as if I were to become Roman Catholic -- therefore, I am far from anxious to make it.
