Prayers for Faith Meetings: Opening and Closing Thoughts for Interfaith Meetings Claudia a Ramisch

Publisher Marketing: Prayers for opening and closing the work meetings of faith groups. The author defines prayer as reverent attention to the mysteries of life. Hence these prayers are for thoughtful people of all traditions--from Humanist to Hindu, Buddhist to Christian, and more--who work together in a faith community or faith setting. Tips and suggestions are offered for successfully tailoring these to your setting. Prayers are grouped in four categories: 1) Prayers for Sharing Hearts--Opening and closing reflections with spaces for participants to share what's on their hearts; 2) Longer Reflections--Services designed for deeper sharing; 3) Benedictions & Prayers--Short texts for special occasions and times when heart-sharing won't be done; 4) Readings & Poems--supplemental texts.
