My family background is Presbyterian and Lutheran, and my wife's family's background is Catholic and Episcopal. I would never have known that about the different styles of prayer.Bethesda, Md.: I'd like to raise a question that's been on my mind for a while now, which concerns how The Washington Post portrays Christians pictorially. I have noticed, primarily in Metro and Style, that when people designated as Christians appear in photos, almost always they are shown with arms raised, eyes closed, and heads thrown back in a dramatic Pentecostal style of prayer. I am Catholic and most of us do not pray that way. I have attended Presbyterian and Episcopal services, and members of those faiths do not pray that way. We prefer a more reflective, subdued approach. Could you please be a bit more balanced in your portrayal of Christians? Thank you.</NITF>
<NITF>Milton Coleman: Thank you for your thoughtful observation. I will pass it on to those who make the decisions about what pictures are published as well as to our photographers, who take many of those pictures.
