The prayer above is a familiar one to those who recite the traditional Anglican liturgy. It comes at the end of our petitions (and not to forget the General Thanksgiving that goes with them) and is based on the following passage of Scripture:
Again, I tell you that, if but two of you on earth agree as to what they shall pray for, whatever it be, it will be granted them by my Father who is in Heaven. For where two or three have come together in my Name, I am present with them. (Mat 18:19-20)
Those who are church planters or rectors/pastors or smaller churches are grateful that Our Lord set such a low minimum for a gathering number. As enamoured as we are with big crowds and churches, we should remember that the most important thing about Christian gatherings is not their size but whether our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is there among us.
