I was at 2 evening prayers as part of the thy kingdom come initiative. I found it to be a useful exercise. It was a solemn experience. A great way to close the day. However I was the only non clergy. There were 3 of us in total.
On our way back home, I told the Mhinisteir that morning and evening prayer would suit rural areas very well. I personally feel that these should be given the same importance as a Sunday service provided that ministers are relieved of all other unnecessary duties. Equally important is for vicarages to be next to Churches.
