Several brief scenes illustrate comically the confusion in our culture about prayer. In the first scene, a group of people pray fervently-to rip off the heads of the opposing team! Then a child's nighttime prayer becomes a confusing theology lesson from Mom who doesn't really understand why we pray. Next, a man prays for the meal, and puts on a holy sounding prayer voice complete with religious vocabulary. A teenager prays for justice on her ex-friend who stole her boyfriend. A shipwrecked man promises God anything, but backs out of it all when rescued. A memorized mealtime prayer doesn't quite fit-at a funeral! Finally, a committee trying to update prayer go to ridiculous lengths. In the end, the actors paraphrase the Lord's prayer, and we see the wonderful simplicity of Jesus' model.Topics: THE LORD'S PRAYER, PRAYERCharacters:: 2 MALES, 2 FEMALES, (ALL PLAY MULTIPLE ROLES)Participants: 4Author: Judson Poling
