}...he was told the proper form of prayer for such an occasion.

IMHO any "proper form of prayer" arrived at by a committee of man is not a prayer at all, but a performance or exhibition.

To suggest that a performance is a prayer flies in the face of Jesus admonition "do not pray on the street corner to be seen of men" but "go into a closet and pray to your Father which art in heaven". (Or words to that effect.)
