CHURCHES & PRAYERS
Intercessory prayers have become ceremonial vestiges in our churches — rituals which baptize meetings as they begin and bury them when they end. Such prayers ignore the whole panorama of God’s work in the world and focus on stifling particularities… Many worship services are monuments to the spiritual self-centeredness of local churches. It is a wonder that many pastoral prayers ever rise higher than the ceiling, when they so rarely embrace anything beyond the walls. From Renewal as a Way of Life, by Richard F. Lovelace, pg. 174
