View Full Version : Praying Hands Are Folded, Not Sat Upon

In Christian practice, during prayer hands are traditionally held in an upright position with fingers interlaced in a folded manner. The origins of this posture probably originate somewhere along the boundary between legend and antiquity; but upon examining it, it is evident that the gesture is conductive to any swift action that might need to be undertaken upon conclusion of petitioning the Almighty.

However, if some Christians had their way, the hands might end up being sat upon since they seem to conclude nothing else needs to be done to fulfill the mandates of the divine economy.

In an attempt to stem the encroaching moral darkness, a number of conservative organizations and Christian ministries have coined rallying cries such as "Taking Back America" or "Reclaiming America For Christ" for the purpose of encouraging civic involvement on the part of believers. However, in a column titled "Taking America Back" columnist Paul Proctor indicates these efforts are as much an affront to the Lord as the reprobate conditions such campaigns were instituted to address.
