The Rationalist Confessor is not allowed to partake in ritual.... :)
Which sounds like a ritualistic tradition of its own.
I wouldn't call that "ritual", but I would call it deliberate community building along a similar axis.
It is probably a good idea to include space for a "devil's advocate" inside the ritual, rather than having them somehow sit out (without ritualistically turning their back, or NOT turning their back, or ritualistically considering the issue and Making their Own Decision? How is this even possible?) or sing "la la la I can't hear this" the entire time.
