At coordinated prayers are prayers independent, that is, there is no syntactic relationship between them.
They are classified into two types: syndectic coordinate clauses and asyndetic coordinate clauses.
asyndetic prayers
Asyndetic coordinate clauses are characterized by the compound period juxtaposed, that is, they are not linked through no connective.
Examples:
- We arrived at the beach, swam, played, ate.
- He took the key, opened the door, sighed deeply.
- He doesn't feel like eating, studying, going out.
