This thesis explores the reason Presbyterian Chruches In America and congregants in the Pittsburgh area have nout used written prayers and prayer liturgies in their public worship and private devotion. This work examines biblical prayer in both the Old and New Testaments, as well as investigates the history of prayer practice in the Presbyterian polity. The writer begins with a presupposition that the prejudices against using the prayers of the ages have impoverished and hindered us from developing a continuity with the church of the past and has impeded the ability to learn to pray in a more Scriptural way.
