This IS an alarming headline, except for one thing. When writing "while standing on the Oval Plaza of the Court steps, the group began to pray quietly," I have to ask.
Were they praying quietly, or were they praying silently?
The word 'quietly' is - unfortunately - a subjective one. I have a neighbor who plays his radio so quietly, when he outside on his deck I have to close windows to attenuate his quietness.
There is scripture that scolds those who pray out loud in public (no matter how quietly they may be).
Matthew 6:5: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full."
Think about it. Pray about it (in private).
