The most popular image of prayer is an individual with eyes closed, head bowed, hands folded, and kneeling, silently communing with God. Prayer is an experience of open communion between one human being and God. But prayer experiences can and should be shared with community. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, and the Bible tells us that when two or more are gathered, God is there. Praying Together looks at the most popular and effective ways in which people are praying together in local churches today. Twenty-one prayer models are described with each model containing a plan and practical tips to consider. Some offer a personal reflection from one who has experienced transformation through the model. Several traditional models are described including prayer chains, prayer vigils, and prayer retreats as well as fresh, new ideas such as hosting Taize services, labyrinth walking, Prayer Walks, and Internet sacred spaces. No model is perfect, and the author asks church leaders to consider them all to determine which ones best meet the needs of varying congregational members. Praying Together is a much needed resource for church leaders who wish to broaden their congregational prayer efforts, to cultivate an active prayer community, and most importantly, to deepen the spiritual lives of their church members.
