"A room designated for around-the-clock contemplation and prayer has proved a big success.

"The prayer room has been stationed for the last week in the Methodist Church Centre, in High Littleton [England], and has attracted people in their teens to their late 80s. It opened [Saturday, April 2] and by Monday 80 people had signed up to use the space.
