"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

But you, when you pray go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is on the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:5-6"

Muslims were also included in this praying study! And there are a lot in the UK!
And this quote you bring about praying in a secret darkened back room or cellar, may suit for societies as the Jewish once was, where people prayed openly to get attendance by all.
My Father said to me to do my morning prayers when I didn't do them at home, to do them in the tramway, the tube or on the train when going to my job. So there I have to pray amongst men and although I am afraid every time this happens to me, the Lord never let me down. And most of the people just don't care about this.

About the Me-generation and the things they pray for, I can imagine what this will be but I don't think this is are prayers in a Christian sense! And not at all an orthodox sense!

Christos voskrese! Nicolaj
