I have not heard of this praying "in unison"; it's not something that is discussed or done in my area. Why do you think this is pervasive? >Is God so legalistic that He would be less inclined to answer sincere prayers >.... I always start from the premise that God is not stupid. :-) Of course He will hear and answer sincere prayers.

The Baha'i Studies Listserv There seems to be a pervasive belief amongst Baha'is that if a lot of Baha'is pray in unison for something (from wherever they are at the time) the effect is far more powerful than if they pray at different times. Is there any foundation for this in the Writings, though? Because if there isn't it sure looks to me to be myth. Is God so legalistic that He would be less inclined to answer sincere prayers just because they aren't all said at the same time?
