Oh the joy of that hot live: Oh the joy of that hotline, live to Heaven! Prayer is like that red phone in Batman and of course the bat signal. But again, it isn't just the fixed place and time which New Testament faith exemplifies: in their homes, at the temple, in the synagogues, as they went, in each other's company: a truly ever reaching, ever stretching fellowship.

Indeed! Romans could be seen: Indeed! Romans could be seen as Paul's gospel account and Galatians considered a 'little Romans.' The prison epistles could be thought of as the rubber hitting the road, among other more delectable theological descriptives. Almost two-fold in that grouping: theoretical and applied expressions of faith.

Wow, thank you for that!  You: Wow, thank you for that!  You know how much I value your spiritual insights; and receiving a comment from you is a great privilege.  Since May of 1977, I have always loved that line from the last of T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets:  "You are here to kneel / Where prayer has been valid."  To me, that meaning is not restricted to only a sanctified building, or a chancel rail in a church.  The Early Christians prayed wherever they happened to be, so their prayers made of this world a place "where prayer has been valid," and therefore, while I am here, I am here to kneel in prayer.  When I first read the line, with the whole poem, in May, 1977, I was too immature to understand the wider meaning.  I was a naive freshman at college; and, during that particular term, my most pressing issues seemed to be which pair of jeans to put on in any given morning, and whether, like so many of my classmates at that time and place, the weather required that I wear flipflops, or could I walk to class or the dining hall barefoot?  So, in that world at that time, in its context, prayer was valid in a church building, where legitimate worship is carried on.  Now, far removed from that time and place, I understand Eliot's line to have a much wider reaching meaning.  Sorry if I have been verbose here; your comment inspired these thoughts.

Thank you, my dear friend,: Thank you, my dear friend, for your comment and your theological insight.  I love the so-called Prison Epistles---Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon---which are, to me, the supreme expression of Paul's Faith, even more so than the epistle to the Romans.
