Shall We Pray?

On Sunday, July 17, 2008, Jone Johnson Lewis spoke at the Washington Ethical Society (WES), giving a slightly-updated version of an address she gave at NoVES in 2005. The audio version of that talk is available at the Washington Society's website. Here's the description as WES announced it, and following that, links to their platform address archive and to this particular audio file:

Shall We Pray?
Jone Johnson Lewis, Leader Northern Virginia Ethical Society
From the early years of the Ethical Movement, community prayer was rejected. Why was that? What has science found about the power of prayer? What needs of a community and of individuals are served by prayer in religious groups? If we reject community prayer, what serves those needs in an Ethical community?
