You have asked specifically about reading prayers on the
radio. Of course this is permissible, but will be cautious concerning the
setting of the prayers, i.e. what kind of materials may be presented before and
after the prayers, so that they are assured of that dignity and reverence which
they deserve. There may also be considerations of timing (the hours of the day
best chosen, Sunday as the customary day of religious observance, etc.), in
relation to the customs of the station, of the area, or other. Such recorded
disc programs as 'Words for the World' include prayers, of course.
