I can agree with that. More than one person sitting at a table and having
common prayer, would want to make their prayer(s) audible to those sitting
at their table. But praying in public and purposely being loud to make a
show would fall under Jesus' Matthew 6:6 injunction as you say. We're
finally in agreement! Hurrah! :-)

I hope you wouldn't be offended at someone praying in public and
unintentionally being loud enough to be overheard? :-)
