Others prefer to be more free and informal (non-liturgical), where they can say their own prayers. They believe this style helps the connect with God in a much more personal and individual way. They may share their own interpretations of the Bible.
Many Christians will take part in individual worship, which may involve meditation, prayer or Bible study.
