It should be borne in mind that all consultation is aimed at
arriving at a solution to a problem and is quite different from the sort of
group baring of the soul that is popular in some circles these days and which
borders on the kind of confession that is forbidden in the Faith. (From a
letter dated 19 March 1973 from the Universal House of Justice to a National
Spiritual Assembly, published in "Consultation: A Compilation"; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, Issues Concerning Community Functioning)
