Seek and you shall find your way to God. Every person goes his path in life. Everyone has his way to God. You will be rewarded according to your faith. Whatever religion you belong to, home prayer is very important. But collective prayer has a much greater power. Therefore, from time immemorial, a person of any religious affiliation looks for his parish, his audience. He can offer prayers to God together with his like-minded people and his spiritual shepherd. As a rule, church communities were created from parishioners who lived nearby, in one small town or settlement. They had from several dozens to several thousand members.
