520 |a The study of a weekly women's prayer group in a small northern English town discusses how participants resolve tensions which may arise from unanswered prayer. The most important mechanism in that process is the informal ‘chatting' which precedes the period of formal prayer.

The participants maintain that they are directed by God's wisdom, not by their own actions.
