Journal 2 Assignment: This week, consider prayer in public forums. Where should we pray together and where should we not? For example, is it okay to start a class with a prayer? What about a prayer to open a graduation? Is there a place for prayer at work? Should a football team pray together in the locker rooms before a game? When is public prayer okay and when is it not—and why?
