An argument for scriptural support can be made? Scriptural support for what? For the kind of pray-reading that Raptor has referenced in his posts, and the Bonhoeffer one your just referenced? Of course there is scriptural support for these, because these are coming (for the most part) from orthodox, evangelical Christians. So that's a given. My point would be that what has been practiced in the Local Church has always been a rote practice. And this is why I brought up the point about how other Christians react to the pray-reading in the Local Church. Most Christians instinctively see it has an unscriptural and unhealthy practice.

Thanks for your clarification about Scottsdale.
