“Prayer is not a monologue. It speaks to God and to the community. In the last analysis, religion is not what goes on inside a soul. It is what goes on in the world, between people, between us and God. To trap faith in a monologue, and pretend that it resides solely inside the self, undermines the true interchange of all belief.” PeopleWorldSoulSelfLastsBeliefSpeakCommunityPrayerGoes OnAnalysisTrapsMonologuesInterchange Author:David Wolpe
