Yes of course. Jesus didn't say do it in secret so you don't annoy the non-believers or make them uncomfortable. The kind of prayer He is talking about there is an intimate conversation with God. But there are also other purposes for prayer: praise, thanksgiving and worship. And it is proper to do that anytime anywhere and as loud as you feel it. 1CO 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

<< I see an admonition against praying for show as opposed to believers praying together. >> And do you have the ability to know how many believers are at a high school, or any other public function? I have talked privately to many people who don't want prayer coerced upon them at public functions, but go along with it because they prefer not to stir up any trouble, and just go along with it. I no longer do. I deliberately sit down when it happens, and all of those good Christians glare at me. I can see hate in their eyes, not the love that their Savior teaches. If that seems harsh, why should I consider their feelings when they have no concern for mine. It's time for the rest of us to not put up with public praying any more. If you want to pray, do it silently, as your Christ taught you to. Del
