In the years before widespread news media, prayer meetings were also used to share news and information

Where? The historical and cultural context is not clear. Is this an American Protestant thing? Ming the Merciless 17:04, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Reread the article. Before there was widespread media, news was often delivered at prayer meetings (which could be held at ANY church, in any country, and were), particularly if it concerned recent crises or events, such as the one which prompted the meeting in the first place. Many movies, novels, etc. about historical events or periods include mentions of such meetings; too many to list examples. Zephyrad 10:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
