Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. - James 5:16 This is not a practice that the Orthodox Church began. It is a practice which the apostles did with the congregation of the early church. They would practice it widely and publicly. The government would later start condemning the Christians of their faults and use it against them in court. So the church made it and individual confessions. The Orthodox church kept this tradition until today.
