Prayer in America

According to Gallup research, more than 80% of Americans pray regularly. Prayer unites us as a nation. During times of natural disaster, war or tragedy, it is not unusual to see all faiths join hands in prayer. What is prayer? Why do Americans pray? Inspired by James P. Moore, Jr.'s acclaimed book, One Nation Under God--The History of Prayer in America, and seen on public television, this compelling and thought-provoking two-hour program objectively looks at the influence of prayer on American history, the impact of prayer on social and political movements, the role of prayer in forgiveness and redemption, how public prayer unites us in times of crisis, the controversy over school prayer and much more. Two years in the making, Prayer in America is essential viewing for people of all faiths.
