The
main reason a
church might want to consider letting prayer meetings cease is that even when prayer meetings are healthy and people don't learn bad
types of praying, they still teach people bad habits about prayer.
The
main type of person it works on though, is the person who is at the
church building every time the front doors are open (Sunday morning, Sunday night, and Wednesday night, at a minimum), but because they are at
church so much, they don't have enough time to build quality relationships with anyone outside the
church.
