This paper revisits Marcel Mauss's classical text On Prayer (1909), invoking one of his main arguments - that of the epistemological centrality of the act of prayer in religious phenomena - as a pretext for the analysis of ritual and doctrinal processes in the "Tokoist church", a Christian prophetic movement of Angolan origin. I will do so proposing a comprehensive approach to the seemingly disconnected categories of "prayer" and "space".
