[awareness]

Anybody can pray-read or not ... with others or not ... in meetings or not.

If you want to understand scripture, personally I think the time would be better spent reading scholarly studies of the scriptures. But that's me.

The tragic fallacy is, perhaps, that it is an effort to connect with God. The tragedy is that it implies a disconnect.

Since it's impossible to disconnect from God, pray-reading is a superfluous activity.

But to each his or her own.
