Confessional community
A confessional community is a group of people with similar religious beliefs.
In the Ottoman Empire, this allowed people to be grouped by religious confession as opposed to nationality or ethnicity, which was more consistent with the existing social structure. People were able to do themselves more effectively as a group than as individuals.
