Prayer circle
"In Mormonism, a prayer circle is a mode of prayer practiced by Mormons who have taken part in the Endowment ceremony. Established by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1842 or 1843, he called it the 'True Order of Prayer'. The ritual involves an antiphonic recitation of prayer by participants joined in a circle, usually around an altar inside a temple. Earlier Mormons had practiced conventional Protestant-type prayer circles at least as early as 1833.
