QUOTE OF THE DAY
> “Prayer in the company of others is at root a method of focusing the group’s
> attention, and then turning it upward and outward. When performed in a
> religiously diverse setting, it can focus attention on shared meaning and
> purpose that transcends any single individual, any current situation, or even
> any specific understanding of the divine.”
