- Episcopalians get 'Dial-A-Prayer'
- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: PEP-18528. EPISCOPALIANS GET 'DIAL-A-PRAYER'. CORONNADO, CAL. -- The Rev. W. Don Brown, rector of Christ Episcopal Church here, has started a "Dial-A-Prayer" telephone service which has become popular in this area. The program is the first of its kind started by an Episcopal church in the country. By dialing a special number church members can hear a prayer previously recorded by Mr. Brown. The clergyman records three different prayers each day -- for the morning, afternoon, and evening hours. During the first two weeks after the phone service was started some 500 persons called daily.
