Inaugural Jesus

In The inaugural Jesus, Martin E. Marty writes:

We should devise some signal by which those who pray particular prayers (as I believe all are) let everyone know that while praying in their own integral style and form, they are aware and will at least implicitly assure their audiences that they are not speaking for everyone. They can then encourage others to translate what is being said into contexts they find congenial, and still share a communal experience.

Take the altogether worthwhile walk to that conclusion, starting here.
