This page groups practices by how regularly they are repeated. Wikipedia notes that "some degree of recurrence in place and repetition over time of ritual action is necessary for a cult to be enacted, to be practiced." Browsing by cadence lets a visitor separate a practice performed on a fixed schedule from one performed only rarely or once.

Overview
What Defines This GroupingStanding commitments a tradition treats as conduct rather than as rite - non-injury, refusal of a medical procedure on doctrinal grounds, the provision of ceremony and pastoral care without religious content. The grouping is defined by the absence of a ritual form rather than by a shared ethic, and its members do not agree with one another. 2 Learn More
The Ethical Practices
This group holds ethical practices, the disciplines of right conduct and moral cultivation by which the traditions train character and shape behaviour toward others: the keeping of precepts, the practice of virtue, and the examination of conscience.
The browser will find ethical practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's form and the moral vision it serves, noting the tradition to which it belongs.
