The Office of the Keys is the special authority which Christ has given to his church on earth to forgive the sins of repentant sinners, but to withhold forgiveness from the unrepentant as long as they do not repent. - Luther's Small Catechism

Also, look up these verses -

Why do Amish families confess their wrong doings to their Bishop?

Not in the sense of specific sins as one would consider confession in some churches. Amish church memebers adhere to a set of rules (normally not written down, but known by the memebers) called the Ordnung. Should a member be inviolation of these rules he may be visited by his deacon. The deacon will address the violation and encourage the memeber to correct his offending behavior. If the memeber continues to live in violation, he will eventually be brought before the church and may be silenced or even excommuncated for his behavior. If he chooses to repent, a public confession will typically be made infront of the congregation (where the bishop is present). If the offense was serious enough, he may be asked to kneel before the congregation during his confession. The bishop does not act as a moderator between God and man as might be present in the "office of the keys" for a Lutheran or similar systems of confession in the Catholic church.

The book was first published on 25 June 1580, fifty years after the presentation of the Augsburg Confession, the central document of the Lutheran reformation, to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg.

Does the Lutheran Rite of confirmation include making a speech about your faith?

It may. In some cases, as a Lutheran pastor, I have had my junior (adolescent) confirmands prepare and present short essays about a topic we had studied. I never asked an adult confirmand to do so. But in giving with Jesus' saying that those who acknowledge HIm before people, He will acknowledge before His Father, I always included a public confession of faith. This public confession is typically built around the Apostle's Creed, though I have also seen the Nicene Creed used.
