Christian Prayer

​Christian Prayer is a set of resources that has been prepared for those in schools who have the responsibility of leading others in times of prayer.
​
It is especially intended to offer support to those teachers who are not Catholic, or are not familiar with a range of traditions of Christian prayer.
​
It is designed to help those who use it to move beyond 'saying prayers' and to becoming familiar with 'praying'.

The resource includes brief introductions to a range of aspects of prayer and praying, and videos and sets of Powerpoint slides ready to be used in a classroom or prayer group setting.
