Abstract

This project evolved from the question: 'Can prayer and the ministry of prayer bring new life into a congregation while at the same time bring encouragement and support to the laity as a mutual ministry is reclaimed with the clergy?' Through the implementation of classes, a prayer team and opportunities for lay involvement with prayer ministry the desired effect was a strengthening of the congregation's relationship to God and others and the laity would become more confident in their ability to serve along with the clergy. Luther's understanding of the 'priesthood of all believers' was central to the project.
